in a system that is corrupt everyone is corrupt and no one is corrupt.. do nigerians even care to know how our different state budgets are allocated talk more of our L.G.A budget.. when we learn to hold our immediate leaders responsible for the menace in our society then we are ready to make a change.. dont ever think buhari is our problem because your local government chairman is part of the people sponsoring him .. have you asked yourself who rigs elections for these politificians.. its still dose around you.. so open ya eye and stop complaining about a budget you wont even hear about till next year unless something fishy comes up during implementation

maqp10:

its like pouring water in a leaking drum.. you get nothing out of it.. even if you pour another drum of water into it..
its not wisdom to say they should increase it to 400billion when they've been doing that for the past 10yrs and no change.. I believe they are trying out something so lets just wait and observe..

nah not at all, you patch the leaking drum and pour more water, in so doing the cost goes up, any society who neglets education is DEAD!
The elites of our society know this hence they refuse to develop certain sectors cos they know the eyes of the ordinary man will open and they will lose absolute power!.

TheKingdom:


Not when you were and still are a British colony. See the President vanishing for 100+days for "sickness" and see the budget....

The Nigger Area is just going about the script given to it by Foreign stakeholders PERIOD.

Why spend so much on defense? Who is going to invade una? Cameroon? Niger? Togo? LOL

NONSENSE

its easy to steal with Defence budget, who is going ot ask the Army what they spent their money on lol when the so called BH is still working hard, nah them them!

Chevronstaff:
In the UK,US and Canada ,Education, Health and Social Security took highest share of the budget .....
WHEN WILL NIGERIA LEARN FROM THIS??

oga make your research very well.. those countries you mention even tops the world biggest spenders on defence. .

now we are getting somewhere. . "patching".. I love that word.. you need to patch first. . that is how it all started for the first world countries. . ofcus you can increase the budget to 10trillion only when you've covered up the stealing avenues.. thats what we should learn first and not to increase money for those thiefs.. if we had used our resources (1.4 trillion in the past 10 years) there wouldn't be a cause for alarm now.

Education has no substitute,plane and simple, if teh Fg thinks monies are being stollen, they can take up the mantle of governing teh educational sector Like PMB took the role of petrol minister.!Whats coming accross here is a government who has no regards for the development of its citizens.They should focus on building new schools in every LGA.

...We use to buy bag of rice N8,000 and petrol N85 per litre with N4.2trillion budget during GEJ regime...but we now buy a bag of rice for N18,000 - N20,000 and petrol N145 per litre and the budget N8+ tritllion,
BTW, what exactly did they do with 2017 budget?


This style is called "the more u look, the less u see"...!

KardinalZik:
IRRESPONSIBLE budget by an irresponsible PRESIDiot supported only by irresponsible ZOMBIes.

Just like their highly worshipped (but fruitless and failed) BUDGET OF CHANGE, this is just an UTOPIAN BUDGET.

Them suppose use do Ritual aswear. You should be useful for this internet fraudsters believe me. Ode oponu jati jati

You think 60-70billion is too small for education and health respectively? these are huge amount of money that'll do alot if the people there use it for what it's meant for and not pocket it. You're saying (just) for such huge amount of money. na wa for these kind of people in my country

IBBG:
FCT alone 40 billion. and education a just 60 billion and health 71 billion. No wonder our health care and education is in shambles. What does the FCT produces to warrant 40 billion budget.

sincerely, that is the first defect I picked from the proposal.

maqp10:

you are not even reasoning... I have just explained to you that even if it is 5trillion it wont change anything as money will still be sifoned..
what do you even mean by intellectual leaders?.. what problem has US or UK got that you compare our contry with the third world.. you want a better education system with this underlying corruption or better electricity with this status quo.. you better grow.. if I may ask you ..point out any country in the third world you know and her president that is currently trying to solve a major economic problem like food, electricity, or health. . non..... have you seen Americans comparing trump with obama or bill Clinton. . you better grow up.. nigeria will be on a slow train until our major problem corruption is out and then you will understand that 97billion is enough to make a change

your argument is just so off point and so empty and full of sentiments. going by your reasoning, which means the govt should be reducing or not be budgeting for capital expenditure again since most of the money for capital projects are looted and upon the trillions wasted on capital expenditure our infrastructure is still in a state of decay, if i must follow the reasoning you just spewed above. Mr man Education is as important as infrastructure, because it is education that builds infrastructures. Tell me any advance country in the world today that is not prioritising education?

erico2k2:

Are you kidding me? they should increase it until they get it right,Education and healthcare should take the chunk of the budget.

It seems Buhari doesn't value education, judging from what he has been allocated to that sector since 2016.

divide 60 and 70 billion by 180 million people you will know that it is not adequate, meanwhile FCT with a population less than 10 million has a budget of 40 billion while a population of 180 million people have a budget of 60 billion for education and 70 billion for healthcare of which FCT is still a beneficiary, and you see nothing wrong with it. Na wa for people like you too in my country.

funny enough a nairalander picked offense that i highlighted that flaw. his argument was that govt has been spending money on education and healthcare with nothing to show for it, hence the said amount was more than adequate, i told him that govt has also been wasting money on capital projects with nothing to show for it, does it mean that we should reduce funding for capital project? FCT alone with a population of less than 20 million has 40 billion budget and will still benefit from the 60 billion and 70 billion education and healthcare budget meant for 180 million people.

Thank God. Please patronize proforce armoured vehicles for effective combat against terrorism's. Purely Nigeria Made.

All the Fulanis right now

I hope there no allocation for the state house CLINIC this time. Since we now know that that one is fraud. ku ku scrap the clinic!

budget that will be looted... haha useless country

You're quoting 180m people that's the whole population in nigeria are going to school, that's why u r dividing the budget with the whole population huh? This shows u don't know what exactly you're arguing about, secondly, People living in the fct are not human beings? Don't they need infrastructure for rural areas, water, pay salaries of LCDAs workers etc or what are u even saying, Let's see how much states with less than 10m population budget will be, they'll be talking of hundreds of billions and you're saying abuja with 40b budget is too much for a city of not less than 5million inhabitants, I figured u don't know what you're saying you just want to find a way to fault this budget instead of u/us to be praying the budget should be implemented as seen on paper, make it just stop here before I provoke

IBBG:

Can anybody tell me what zonal intervention program are?

Hope it's not mass vaccinations .

Defence or Health should never exceed Education.

Back in the old school days we usually christened fellow students who exhibit extreme dullness 'ZUWO' from Barkin Zuwo, ex civilian governor of Kano state. With a stroke of luck, you may come to know the reason one day.

Zuwo! That is sooo UNN/UNEC. Like saying "any work".
Good looking out, bro.

As the saying goes, no nation can grow beyond its investment on education! 61billion is way too small looking at the standard of education in this country. Get the education sector right on track and see the massive turn around of the country!

pls the over 109 billion budgeted for universal basic education commission is for what cos I don't really get people here quoting 60 billion
will ubec spend the money in agric sector niii( or is it not the same education sector d education ministry is that ubec too is)
education sector is not limited to only education ministry
pls criticize intelligently not just talk like someone that can't read and write
and d fellow saying US and UK spend more on education than defence..... are u for real
some people will just sit in their village and proudly and ignorantly embarrass themselves google is there now, don't be intellectually lazy

in 2015 US budget,( during the more liberal Obama administration) paltry sum of 70 billion dollars was spent on education( less than 10% of budget) compared to over 598 billion dollars spent on defence ( more than 8 times education spending)
9
Nigeria is 60 + 109 education vs 150 defence

people talk intelligently

Budget of change indeed, this is the 3rd budget presented by Buhari since inception of this administration tagged" budget of Change" But where is the change? After trillion upon trillion as appropriation bill since 2015 plus the recovered loots and Buhari is fighting corruption. God must judge all the all our leaders who are green snake under green grass. May Help Nigeria and Nigerians

maqp10:


oga make your research very well.. those countries you mention even tops the world biggest spenders on defence. .

edited
sorry wrong quote
oga pls shey be u have phone and internet abeg pls open google on ur browser and search budget of real countries ooo( not those Luxembourg or semi countries oo) compared to defence/security expenditure
since time immemorial defence/security expenditures has always top government expenditures ( rival by social security investments in all these developed countries)

without security no nation will survive
that is why during total/partial wars/ crisis constitutions are suspended and all efforts of d governments are directed towards the war effort ( nothing like budget passing or appropriation sef)

mccoy47:

I'm not surprised coming from a certificateless person

Nigerians and paper degrees/certificates.a one time minister of finance in Sweden, gunnar strang was a bricklayer and 90 percent of the then parliamentarians were farmers and did not have university degrees but we're very competent. Also. The present prime minister is a welder and university drop out and this is one of the most sophisticated countries in the world

Correct observation and just another FAILURE of Ali Bubu and his cabal of 40 thieves in the All Poverty Congress, APC.

‘A budget that moves domestic spending in Aso Villa from N580m to N1.7bn cannot be a budget of change’

Abuja – Sen. Eyinnaya Abaribe (PDP Abia South) on Wednesday in Abuja, berated the 2016 budget and called on President Muhammaduu Buhari to withdraw it and go back to the drawing board.

Abaribe while making contributions during the consideration of the budget, said the proposal was faulty on many grounds and could not be implemented at it was.

He said that predication of oil benchmark at 38 dollars per barrel when the crude oil price had fallen below 30 dollars per barrel made the budget unrealistic.

Abaribe faulted the government for increasing spending by 30 per cent based on borrowing.

“Mr President, my colleagues, this budget is indeed unique. After the budget presentation, the finance minister has never come to explain the details of the budget as it is normally done.

“It is a budget of change I agree, but it is a change in the wrong direction. I say it is a change in the wrong direction because it says that it is based on zero budgeting requiring all expenses to be fully justified.

“Mr President, a budget that increases spending up to 30 per cent based solely on borrowing, in what way are we justified? That is the question we want to ask the people who brought this budget.

“We know what is going on in the global economy: this budget is predicated on an oil benchmark of 38 dollars per barrel and I can now say that with oil being 28 dollars today, this budget is dead on arrival.

“The job of the opposition is to help the government to get its priorities right, so I want to please urge this government to withdraw this budget and go back to the drawing board,” he said.

The senator also faulted the adjustments made in the budget as well as allocation for spending in the Aso Rock Villa, saying that it was too exorbitant.

He said that the adjustments rather than reduce spending in areas where they were not necessary only spread it into different offices.

“Mr President, a budget that moves domestic spending within Aso Villa from N580 million to N1.7 billion cannot be a budget of change.

“We were told that in the revised budget there was an adjustment due to error, we agree but what has happened is that up to N7 billion were moved from buying vehicles and spread to offices.

“It also increased the spending that is due to renovations within the Villa.

“They are going to renovate the Villa with N3.9 billion: what else do you want to renovate there that Nigerians will see in the Year 2016?” he asked.

However, in his contribution, Sen. Ahmed Lawan (APC Yobe North) blamed the previous administration for the lack of funds due to the embezzlement witnessed in previous governments.

He said that this was the 17th budget he would be debating as a legislator and noted that not more than 40 per cent implementation was achieved in the last 16 years.

“The proposal before us is the first budget where the executive has deemed it necessary to give ordinary Nigerians genuine hope.

“N500 billion allocated for school feeding and social SAFTEY NET is commendable.

“It is time to say oil should not continue to play dominant role as we have suffered economically and politically: it is time to diversify this economy.

“The direction of the executive is the way to go. `That is, we should make every effort to have the real sector-agric mining and manufacturing.

“The budget deserves the support of everyone, including my colleagues on the other side. When we were in the opposition we supported the PDP, they should support us,” he said.
