Nigeria has improved public access to budget information slightly over the past three years, according to the International Budget Partnership’s Open Budget Survey 2015.

The report, the fifth of its kind, was the comparative survey of budget transparency, citizen participation, and independent oversight institutions in the budgeting process.

Assessing 102 countries around the world, the 2015 Survey found that Nigeria was among the countries that had risen slightly on its Open Budget Index (OBI), which it stated, uses internationally recognised criteria to give each country a transparency score on a 100-point scale.

Nigeria's OBI score increased from 16 in 2012 to 24 in 2015.
According to the report obtained by THISDAY on Tuesday, this meant that citizens have improved access to the information they need to participate in decision making and hold the government to account.

"Nigeria's score of 24 on the 2015 Open Budget Index is higher than its score in 2012. However, the government of Nigeria has been inconsistent on which documents are made publicly available in a given year. Since 2012, the government has increased the availability of budget information by publishing the Citizens Budget and improving the comprehensiveness of the Executive's Budget Proposal, the Enacted Budget and Year-End Report.

However the government has failed to make progress in the following ways: not making the Mid-Year Review and Audit Report available to the public; publishing an Executive's Budget Proposal that only contains minimal budget information," the Researcher, at Civil Resource Development and Documentation Centre, Enugu, Ralph Ndigwe explained.
Overall, the Open Budget Survey 2015 found that 98 of 102 countries surveyed lacked adequate systems for ensuring that public funds are used efficiently and effectively. The 98 countries fall short on at least one of the pillars of accountability (transparency, public participation, and strength of oversight); 32 of these fall short on all three.

It noted that the widespread lack of strong budget accountability systems posed threat to the implementation of critical international agreements, such as the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and the international agreement that is expected at the 2015 Paris Climate Conference.

On the first pillar of transparency, a mere 24 countries—less than one in four— score over 60 out of 100 on the OBI and thus provide citizens with sufficient information to enable them to monitor the government’s use of public money.
