LegendHero: I The crude oil sales bench mark forthe budget is in the region of $58 per barrel. Forecast for oil prices next year put the price at the region of $50 2. Increase in VAT will increase inflation rate and poverty 3 OPEC bench mark for Nigeria is 1.8 million barrels per day 2 Likes 1 Share |

ourema: Do you know last budget was based on a $60 per barrel, now crude oil averages about $57 per barrel. Daily crude oil production was based on 2.3m barrel per day and now our daily prod averages 2.18m bpd. Do you even know Nigeria is producing more than the 1.8milliom bpd benchmark of OPEC if I get your question correctly. Crude oil production most times is always complemented by stability in the Niger Delta region, you would agree with me that things have been quite stable in that region but the government can do more to up crude production volume. The world economy is slowing down, even China growth rate is reducing, same for Germany and other countries, so the president tried to present a budget within our means, although those figures quoted will eventually be at a difference of +-$3 or $4 but at least they are tryna give more attention to capital projects. 3 Likes |

ourema:1. Brent crude as at now sells at over $59 per barrel. The price of crude will likely increase due to the issues around Iran sanctions, possibility of military skirmishes around the Strait of Hormuz, any further attacks on Saudi oil installations, Venezuela etc |

ourema: Let me repeat the comments by Mr Odilim Enwegbara when he termed the Budget a " Budget of bankruptcy" Economist and public affairs commentator, Mr Odilim Enwegbara has described the 2020 Appropriation Bill as “a budget of bankruptcy”. Reacting to the Bill presented to a joint session of the National Assembly on Tuesday, Enwegbara wondered if Nigeria had not “come to the point of agreeing that this business of federal government running Nigeria’s economy should be finally brought to an end? “For how long do we have to have such a prodigious federal government, a government that can’t stop its borrowing spree? “For how long should we allow this government to continue to borrow its oversized consumption, where less than two million government workers have directly and indirectly be responsible for 90% of the country’s annual spending? “For how long should the federal government has to decide where and why road or water etc. should be constructed in Nigeria?” According to him, debt service to revenue ratio is currently approaching 80% with domestic debt approaching 70% of the country’s overall debt stock. |

In Nigeria, the government workers (politicians and senior civil servants) are controlling 90% of annual national expenditure. |

Re: Buhari And Economic Advisory Council In Close Door Meeting by adasingo(m): 3:04pm On Oct 09, 2019 |
Everyday close door meeting, everyday close door meeting! they should better open the door whether something good can come out of it. How can we come out of the present economic crisis with a system that depends on borrowing to finance budget. We should rather cut down the cost of governance, reduce salaries and allowances of politicians and save more money to tackle critical infrastructures. Let us tell ourselves the truth and avoid wasteful spending. [/color][color=#550000] |

Okoroawusa: The whole idea of Npower is useless... The burden of empliyment should b on the private sector..not the government sector packing in workers like fools... They have large workforce to cater for; have NYSC to cater for..: plus the huge infrastructural deficit...; lack of adequate capital for industralization.; health sector to cater for; education sector to put in place... Not to b adding unwilling workers to their workforce....even civil defence should b scrapped! |

Another closed door meeting that will think about....
1. delaying minimum wage payment
2. increase in VAT
3. continued blockage of our borders
4.recreation of toll gates with more in the south east
.....I don talk my own |

Don't worry about that. They will soon come out of the closet and our economy will still be in a mess. Continue to close doors. Remind me of one of my European colleagues who said that if prayers and church attendance could make people rich, Nigeria would have been the most richest and developed country on earth. |

ourema: How is it not growth oriented? Please explain. |
Re: Buhari And Economic Advisory Council In Close Door Meeting by Nobody: 6:32pm On Oct 09, 2019 |
quickberry2:Seems like you lots who support this govt don't know what goes on there. A budget which is simply a repetition of last year with no new additions is simply not growth oriented. Besides the budget benchmarks are not realistic which means more borrowings whereas we are already servicing debts with a quarter of the budget. Half of the budget is going into overheads while heavy taxation and minimum wage non-implementation is going to lead to further impoverishment of the people. That's how it's not growth oriented |
Re: Buhari And Economic Advisory Council In Close Door Meeting by quickberry2(m): 7:14pm On Oct 09, 2019 |
Buckubuck: Trash. So, we should abandon projects that have not been completed? How is the benchmark not realistic? How is half of the budget going into overhead? There is no problem in borrowing to finance developmental projects sir. If it is not growth oriented, we would have seen a lot of respected economists saying one thing or the other about that 1 Like |

At least you agree he isn't doing the right thing. I guess it frustration causing such abreaction. Its bad though. ainas247: |
Re: Buhari And Economic Advisory Council In Close Door Meeting by Nobody: 9:03pm On Oct 09, 2019 |
quickberry2:What does abandoned projects have to do with growth or not? Under normal circumstances, already existing projects should not stop the starting of new ones especially in an ailing economy like ours. Unfortunately, this govt is having fiscal issues and are at their wit's end, which is why they had to constitute an economic team made up largely of people who worked with previous administrations they used to berate. 2.18mbpd is unrealistic if you factor in that our OPEC quota is 1.8 which we hardly exceed most times and of course the volatility of crude oil price and gloomy economic outlook of the globe due to trade wars and the middle East. Your question abt half of the budget going into overheads reeks of ignorance Borrowing should be commonsensical. Right now, we're using almost 100% of our oil revenue to service debts with no visible improvement in infrastructure or standard of living. A lot of economists have spoken if you've been following the news |
Re: Buhari And Economic Advisory Council In Close Door Meeting by signz: 11:58pm On Oct 09, 2019 |
quickberry2: If most of the money borrowed by this govt were used for developmental projects, people wont be complaining. Most of our debts goes to recurrent expenditure, debt servicing and misappropriation of funds. Just look at today's Business day reporting that the CBN financed FG to the tune of over 4 trillion naira in 2018 which is against the CBN rule. So let's ask ourselves, what did the FG do with all that money including the ones we borrowed? As for the OP, I have hope that Salami and Soludo will tell the President the gospel truth about how to make Nigeria productive and business friendly. The problem is, will Buhari put to action their recommendations? Your guess is as good as mine. |
Re: Buhari And Economic Advisory Council In Close Door Meeting by quickberry2(m): 11:48am On Oct 10, 2019 |
Buckubuck: So, we should keep abandoning unfinished projects? You said the govt. is having fiscal issues, but u don't want the govt to borrow, and u still want the government to embark on new projects.....do u now see why u are not making any sense? Let me know the names of renowned economists who have spoken against the budget. You said you have not seen any visible improvement in our infrastructure, it is either u are not seeing well or u just want to play politics of hatred. Have you not seen our light rail? What about the second niger bridge? Go to Lagos-Ibadan expressway. We have alot of them goin on.....if u want me to post images here, I will do it for you. |
