Again, the Presidency has given firm assurances that the Buhari administration which came to power on the back of anti-corruption and good governance would live up to its promises and commitments regarding those commitments.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu told State House Correspondents yesterday that this was in line with the President’s wish to offer a more accountable and transparent administration.
Speaking against the backdrop of the decision of the administration to submit the budget proposals of ministries, departments, and agencies, (MDAs) to the National Assembly for their scrutiny, which is the first under this democracy, Shehu said, the remarkable development was worth celebrating.
According to him, “the laying of budgets for the MDAs, particularly those regarding the Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation) NNPC) behemoth is clearly unprecedented.
“The President is determined to make the budgeting more transparent and more participative. It is all part of the re-engineering of the entire processes of government for the benefit of the welfare of ordinary citizens,” the presidential spokesman explained.
Shehu quoted the President as saying that good governance is key to the nation’s progress and that transparency is the cornerstone of any government that has the welfare of ordinary citizens as its mantra, adding,
“By responding positively to the demand of the National Assembly that MDA budgets be laid before it for scrutiny, a demand mostly ignored by past administrations, President Buhari has given a clear indication of his commitment to an open, transparent and people-oriented government for Nigerians.
“He has shown that he is not hiding any secrets. It is equally a mark of respect for the institution of parliament. Our hope and expectation are that the National Assembly, acting in the best interest of the nation will allow the immediate operationalization of the budgets, so that the momentum of growth of the economy which has begun to build up will be sustained.”
He further assured that Buhari would not let Nigerians down on key promises made by the government...

The Real Madrid forward has seemingly splashed out and treated himself after Portugal's surprise success at Euro 2016, adding another supercar to his collection.
It appears Cristiano Ronaldo has indulged himself following Portugal's successful Euro 2016 campaign.
The Real Madrid superstar, who scored three goals in France as the Portuguese emerged as surprise tournament winners, has shown off what is seemingly a new addition to his collection of supercars, a brand new Bugatti Veyron.
The "animal", as Ronaldo refers to it, appears to be a 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse version of the Veyron and can reach a top speed of 410 km/h, while it can achieve 0–100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds.
Bugatti label the car as the "most powerful and fastest series roadster in the world", and, if you're thinking of buying one for yourself, it typically sells for a cool €1.2 million...!

Manchester United have been drawn against Premier League rivals Liverpool in the Europa League round of 16.
The first leg will be played at Anfield before Louis van Gaal's United host Jurgen Klopp's men at Old Trafford.
Elsewhere, Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham Hotspur, who are second in England's top flight, will take on Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.
Sevilla, who have won the competition in the last two seasons, face Swiss outfit FC Basel, while Gary Neville's Valencia are in action against La Liga counterparts Athletic Bilbao.
Great win last night and a brilliant first team debut for Marcus Rashford �������� Liverpool next round!! #mufc pic.twitter.com/LGQ2n8KExo

A brace from Marcus Rashford helped United to a 5-1 second leg victory over Midtjylland on Thursday evening, while a James Milner penalty was all that could separate Liverpool and German club Augsburg over two legs.
United have won all four meetings with Liverpool since Van Gaal took over from David Moyes, including last month's 1-0 victory at Anfield -- which was Klopp's first taste of the fixture.
The two teams have never before met in a European competition.
What a fantastic tie @BVB vs @SpursOfficial in @EuropaLeague!! #Dortmund #Spurs #UEL
- Lothar Matthäus (@LMatthaeus10) February 26, 2016
Spurs comfortably dispatched Serie A high-flyers Fiorentina on Thursday, with goals from Erik Lamela, Ryan Mason and a Gonzalo Rodriguez own goal sealing a 3-0 victory at White Hart Lane, while Thomas Tuchel's Dortmund booked their place in the last-16 with a comfortable 3-0 aggregate win over Porto.
The tie will pits current second-place in the Premier League against second-place in the Bundesliga but, while Spurs are level on points with Arsenal and just two shy of leaders Leicester, Dortmund are marooned eight points behind Bayern Munich and 15 clear of Hertha BSC.
The German club have a fine history in Europe but have never won the Europa League (or UEFA Cup, as the competition was known before the 2009-10 season).
Spurs won the UEFA Cup in both 1972 and 1984.
Round of 16. Ties to be played March 10 and 17:
The final is at St. Jakob-Park stadium, Basel, in Switzerland on May 18.

Gianni Infantino will succeed Sepp Blatter as the new president of FIFA after winning an election that went to two rounds on Friday in Zurich.
The 45-year-old UEFA general secretary, a lawyer and sports administrator who joined European football's governing body in 2000 and rose through the ranks, became FIFA's first new president in 18 years.
Blatter, who is serving a six-year ban from football, announced his resignation in June after a corruption scandal that engulfed the organisation in May.
Infantino was elected in the second round of voting with 115 of the 207 votes from FIFA's national associations, defeating Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa, who had 88.
Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan retained four votes, and former FIFA executive Jerome Champagne of France had none once voting went to a second ballot after no candidate earned the required two-thirds majority of votes in the initial voting process.
"Dear friends, I cannot express my feelings in this moment," Infantino said in his acceptance speech. "I told you I went through a journey, an exceptional journey, a journey which made me meet many fantastic people -- many people who love football, who live football, who breathe football every day, and many people who deserve that FIFA is highly respected.
"And we will restore the image of FIFA and the respect of FIFA, and everyone in the world will applaud us and will applaud all of you for what we'll do in FIFA in the future. We have to be proud of FIFA, and everyone has to be proud of FIFA and we have to be proud of what we'll do together in FIFA."
In the first ballot, Infantino fell 50 votes short of securing the election but still led with 88 votes, followed by Sheikh Salman with 85, Prince Ali with 27 and Champagne with seven. In the second round of voting, the winner needed only a simple majority, and voters were allowed to change their selections.
It was the first time voting for the FIFA presidential election had reached a second round since 1974, when Joao Havelange of Brazil became the first non-European president ahead of England's Sir Stanley Rous.
Blatter praised Infantino's "experience, expertise, strategic and diplomatic skills" in a statement.
Infantino had originally been included on the ballot as a stand-in for UEFA president Michel Platini, who was barred from running after FIFA banned him from all football-related activity over a 2 million Swiss franc ($2m, £1.35m) "disloyal payment" that Blatter had made to him.
Infantino had said he would stand down if Platini's ban had been overturned, but he now finds himself the leader of one of the world's largest sporting organisations.
Infantino is credited with running UEFA's day-to-day operations during a commercial boom.
He is from Brig in the Valais region of Switzerland, less than 6 miles from Blatter's hometown of Visp.
In his pre-election speech on Friday, he spoke in five languages for the first 75 seconds without notes and portrayed himself as a leader for the world, not just his own wealthy confederation.
"We have to get Europe to do much more,'' Infantino said.
During his campaign, he promised more key FIFA gifts to member federations: more guaranteed funding from FIFA's $5 billion-plus World Cup revenue, more places in an expanded 40-team tournament and more opportunities to stage the World Cup with multinational regional hosting.
South African businessman Tokyo Sexwale had also been running for the presidency but withdrew from the race dramatically right before voting began, ending his address by saying, "It's your problem now."
Blatter was voted in on five occasions, including in May, but he stepped aside days later. Law enforcement agencies from Switzerland and the United States are both conducting large-scale investigations into the systemic corruption of Blatter's tenure.
Platini and Blatter had their initial eight-year suspensions reduced to six by FIFA's Appeals Committee, though both men are expected to take their battle to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Earlier on Friday, FIFA members voted in favour of proposed reforms to address issues of governance, accountability, transparency and diversity.
"FIFA has gone through sad times, moments of crisis, but those times are over," Infantino said. "We need to implement the reform and implement good governance and transparency. We also need to have respect.
"We're going to win back this respect through hard work, commitment and we're going to make sure we can finally focus on this wonderful game that is football." m.espn.go.com/soccer/story?storyId=2815796&top&wjb=
