I'll help with some figures of the budget proposals of the FG from 2011, just to provide some perspective:

2011
Budget Proposed - N4.97Trillion
Oil Price Used - $75
Oil Production - 2.3mbbls/day

2012
Budget Proposed - N4.75Trillion
Oil Price Used - $70
Oil Production - 2.48mbbls/day

2013
Budget Proposed - N4.98Trillion
Oil Price Used - $79
Oil Production - 2.53mbbls/day

2014
Budget Proposed - N4.91Trillion
Oil Price Used - $75
Oil Production - 2.39mbbls/day

2015
Budget Proposed - N4.49Trillion
Oil Price Used - $53
Oil Production - 2.28mbbls/day

2016
Budget Proposed - N6.0Trillion
Oil Price Used - $38
Oil Production - 2.2mbbls/day

I am interested in seeing the revenue details from the budget to know exactly how government intends to fund the budget. My first instinct, though, is that leackages in revenue generating agencies (like NCS, NPA, NNPC, etc) have been blocked and all funds channeled into the TSA.

But how did GEJ, with benchmark oil price of over $75 throughout his term, not be able to come up with a budget of up to N5T? One can say that, had PMB met an oil price of $75, we would be taking about a N10T budget.

GEJ was /is clueless...

The Federal Executive Council presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday approved the nation’s Medium Term Expenditure Framework in preparation for the presentation of the 2016 budget. The framework sets up government’s economic plans for the next three years. The Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma, explained this to State House correspondents at the end of the council’s emergency meeting also attended by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. Udoma was joined at the briefing by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed; and the Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Zaynab Ahmed. Giving some of the highlights of the approved MTEF, Udoma said the council agreed on $38 per barrel of oil as benchmark price for the budget, a figure he said the council considered to be very conservative. He also said that the council also agreed to peg the production of crude oil at 2.2 million barrels per day for next year. Udoma said after the approved MTEF would have been submitted to the National Assembly, the preparation of the 2016 budget would be finalised. He, however, gave a hint that the 2016 budget would be around N6tn, about N1tn more than the current budget. The minister said the increase in the budget figure would be devoted to capital expenditure. Udoma said, “At today’s meeting, the Council approved the Medium Term Economic Framework, which sets out the policies of government over the next three years. It sets out the fundamental economic underpinning of the budget. “The highlights are as follows: we project and we are working with $38 per barrel crude oil price. We consider that to be very conservative but because of the uncertainty, we felt that we should start with a conservative crude oil price. “We are also working with 2.2 million barrels a day production, saying it is achievable, particularly with the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill, which we are working to achieve. We believe that that is a modest figure and that we should be able to produce something higher than that.” The minister explained further, “And so next year, we are looking at an expansionist budget. We are looking at a budget that will be N1tn more than last budget. So, we are looking at a budget of about N6tn. “This year’s budget, including the supplementary, was about N5tn. So, we are looking at a N6tn budget. All the increases actually will be spent on capital projects, because there is the need to increase the capital expenditure because of the infrastructure issues that we have to address. “Following from this, the MTEF will be submitted to the National Assembly and we expect a feedback from them; thereafter, we will be working to try and get the budget finalised. It is when the budget is finalised that you will really see the details of what we intend to do. This is just a medium term economic framework.” When asked how the Federal Government intended to fund next year’s budget, Udoma said the government would increase non-oil revenue from its agencies and keep down the recurrent expenditure. He added that the government would ensure efficiency from revenue generating agencies like the Federal Inland Revenue Service, especially in terms of company income taxes. Udoma added that at the end, the balance would be sourced through borrowing and explained that the government desired a prudent and credible budget and was, therefore, projecting 30 per cent of the budget for capital expenditure. He said, “We will get the funding from two sources. We are looking at trying to increasing our non-oil revenue and we are looking at trying to get more money from the various government agencies by policing their collection and trying to get more money from them. http://www.punchng.com/?p=13882

Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has been found guilty of murder after a South African appeals court overturned an earlier manslaughter verdict. He killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in February 2013 after shooting her four times through a locked door. He is currently under house arrest after spending a year of his five-year sentence in jail. Pistorius will now have to return to court for a new sentence to be decided.

OP u r minister of women affairs on Nairaland..

RIP to em

Kastonkastroll:
people should understand that whatever buhari is doing is for the benefit of Nigeria/Nigerians. Of course he needs to travel a lot to redeem our tattered image in the international community.

PDP and that silly Jonathan have done a great damage to this nation. Buhari needs our support and encouragement to make Nigeria work again.

God bless buhari/osinbajo

God bless Nigeria/Nigerians

fact

A group of Muslim youths under the aegis of
Muslim Youths in Da’wah on Tuesday at the
headquarters of the National Youth Service
Corps in Abuja protested against the ban on
the use of hijab by female Muslim corps
members, especially during orientation camps.
But the Director-General of the NYSC,
Brigadier-General, Johnson Olawumi, insisted
on the ban, saying it was “for security
reasons.”
The national coordinator of LMYiD, Luqman
Hassan; and the Deputy Coordinator,
Kamarudeen Adefila, had told the NYSC DG
that a major protest by Muslims was averted
because of the ban on hijab in most
orientation camps.
Hassan told the DG, “We are here to discuss
with you about the incident that happened
recently in various camps across the country.
We have a guiding principle which is based on
the Holy Q’uran. We are all Nigerians and the
principle which guides us is the constitution
and the African Charter on Human rights.
“Members of the NYSC are Nigerians who
have contributed to the development of this
country; female corps members deserve
protection by the NYSC. We don’t believe that
a female corps member putting on hijab has
done any wrong against the Act establishing
the NYSC. So they deserve the respect of the
NYSC. We have travelled far and wide and
visited different camps. Why are the rights of
female corps members being infringed upon.
We are here to register our displeasure.”
“Many Muslim organisations wanted to
protest, but we said wait a while. In fact, we
have to intervene to avoid the situation and if
Muslims march on the streets, it will attract a
lot of negative comments, but people won’t
know why we are protesting,” Adefila had
added.
In his response, Olawumi said, “Under my
leadership, the NYSC will accord respect to
every corps member, irrespective of tribe and
religion. The incident in Benue State was
caused by the use of long hijab. The security
situation in the country is tough. There is the
danger of somebody using hijab for other
reasons.
“There have been cases where young girls put
on hijab and eventually turn to suicide
bombers. Boko Haram members know how to
get at whoever they want as target. That is
why we frown at the wearing of long hijab.
Please call on all your Muslim youths to be
patient and adhere to it, just for a short
period during the camp. We frown at long
hijab because of the security implication.”
The NYSC DG expressed disappointment in the
allegation by the visiting youths.
“Why are you so particular on your alleged
infraction on the rights of youths without
mentioning any one of such on Christian
youths? Produce your evidence, write to us
and I can assure you that we will act fast.
When the incident in Benue State was reported
to us, I swung into action and ensured that
the camp commandant was decamped
immediately. We are not magicians; if you
have any evidence, write to us and we will not
hesitate to act.”
The NYSC Legal Adviser, Ahmed Tijani
Ibrahim, said the incident in Benue State was
under investigation.
He said, “I’m a Muslim and in our camps, I
know that we have treated everybody equally.
You mentioned the fact that you would have
proceeded to protest. Very minor issues could
trigger off mass protest.
“We will see the way forward to this
complaint. I can assure you that the issue will
not be swept under the carpet. The NYSC is
very sensitive to the issue of religion and
immediately we heard of it, we swung into
action and we are on it because issues of
religion are very sensitive.” www.punchng.com/no-wearing-of-hijab-in-nysc-camps-dg-insists/

The Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, said on Tuesday that President Muhammadu Buhari would decide MTN Nigeria’s fate regarding the N1.04tn fine imposed on it by the Nigerian Communications Commission. He stated that the President would take the final decision on the matter at the appropriate time and “in the public interest.” The minister also said that Buhari’s decision would be on the basis that the “government and MTN are on the same page that rules had been broken in this instance.” Shittu stated this on the sidelines of the Alliance 4 Affordable Internet Nigeria Coalition Conference in Lagos, according to an online publication, Technology Times. “The issue is now before Mr. President. He will take the necessary decision at the appropriate time. I think Nigerians will expect that Mr. President would do the best to ensure that the public interest is guaranteed,” he said. The minister dismissed reports that the government was negotiating with the MTN Group and was considering slashing the fine, saying there was no conflicting position on where the government stood on the matter. Shittu noted, “Recall that there were violations, which were established against MTN. The violations were to the tune of five million (unregistered SIM cards). That is a whole lot. “There are many countries where subscribers are not up to half of five million. In the case of Nigeria, we had more than five million violations. The good thing is that MTN did not contest the fact that they had violated the regulations and guidelines. They never contested it. They admitted they were at fault. “They apologised for their role in the saga and they made a commitment that what happened would never happen again. And of course, they made a plea for the review of the payment terms.” www.punchng.com/n1tn-fine-buharill-decide-mtns-fate-says-minister/

ABUJA – The Federal Government, yesterday,
asked the Abuja Division of the Federal High
Court to revoke the bail it granted the former
National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo
Dasuki, retd.
The government, in an application it filed
pursuant to section 169 of the Administration
of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, sought for an
order committing the former NSA to prison
pending his trial.
Former national security adviser of ex-
president Goodluck Jonathan, Sambo Dasuki
(R), speaks with his lawyer Ahmed Raji, during
his trial at the federal high court in Abuja, on
September 1, 2015. Nigerian prosecutors on
September 1, 2015 slapped a charge of
unlawful possession of arms against Dasuki.
Dasuki was arraigned on a “one-count charge
of being in possession of firearms without
licence,” Prosecutor Mohammed Diri told the
federal high court in Abuja. AFP PHOTO
It will be recalled that though Dasuki was on
September 1, granted bail by the high court on
self recognition, however, trial Justice
Ademola Adeniyi, on November 13, while
granting the defendant leave to travel abroad
for medical treatment, varied his bail
condition.
Justice Adeniyi ordered the erstwhile NSA to
produce a surety that must be ready to face
prosecution should he (Dasuki), go into hiding
after his medical treatment in the United
Kingdom.
The court further directed the release of his
hitherto seized traveling documents, saying
Dasuki should return same to the Deputy Chief
Registrar, Litigation of the high court within
72 hours of his return from the three weeks
medical trip.
It was the order that the government
yesterday asked the court to vacate by
revoking the bail that was granted to the
defendant.
Meantime, the Attorney General of the
Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr.
Abubakar Malami, yesterday, failed to honour
the summon that was issued for him to
appear before court to explain why Dasuki has
remained under house arrest despite the leave
granted for him to travel for medical
treatment.
Though Justice Adeniyi specifically ordered
the AGF to appear before him yesterday,
however, the Director of Public Prosecution,
DPP, Mr. Mohammed Diri, announced
appearance on his behalf.
Diri told the court that he was eminently
qualified to represent the AGF in the matter,
contending that no contempt proceeding is
pending against the AGF.
The DPP rather queried the continued absence
of Dasuki in court, even as he urged the court
to order his appearance at the next adjourned
date.
The position of the DPP infuriated Dasuki’s
lawyers led by Mr. J. B. Daudu, SAN, who
accused the AGF of having little regard for the
court.
Daudu insisted that the AGF ought to have
shown respect to the court by obeying the
summon on him, noting that the Solicitor-
General of the Federation, Mr. Taiwo
Abidogun, had at the last adjourned date,
entered an undertaking that the AGF would be
in court yesterday.
Meantime, while agreeing with Dasuki’s
lawyers that the AGF ought to have appeared
in court yesterday, Justice Adeniyi, fixed
November 26 to determine the merit of FG’s
application for bail revocation.
On why the bail should be revoked, FG,
yesterday, told the court that Dasuki is
undergoing investigation by the committee
auditing procurement of arms/equipment in
the Armed Forces and Defence Sector from
2007 to date.
It said that an interim report of the committee
showed that over $2 billion was allegedly
embezzled and that Dasuki’s presence is
required to assist in further investigation.
“That there is a federal government directive
for the arrest of all those indicted by the
report, including the defendant (Dasuki) and
that the ongoing investigation which borders
on money laundering against the defendant
has not been concluded and there is fear that
investigation might be tempered with on
account of foreign visit by the respondent
before the completion of investigation”, Diri
stated in the application.
He added also that the ailment for which
permission was given to Dasuki to travel to
the United Kingdom for treatment can be
properly treated in the National Hospital,
Abuja and other teaching hospital in Nigeria.
Besides, FG, told the court that there is an
intelligence report that Dasuki has concluded
plans to take the advantage of the court order
releasing his International Passport to escape
justice and tamper with ongoing
investigations.
Daudu objected to the application, contending
that FG could not pray the court for such
relief when it has refused to obey a subsisting
order of the court.
Daudu argued that the federal government
should not be granted any indulgence by the
court until it stops the siege to Dasuki’s
home.
In a fundamental right enforcement
application he filed before the court, Dasuki
who is facing a five-count criminal charge
bordering on money laundering and his
alleged illegal possession of firearms, wants
and order directing FG and operatives of the
DSS to vacate his house located at 13, John
Kadija Street, Asokoro with immediate effect. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/alleged-2bn-fraud-fg-asks-court-to-revoke-dasukis-bail/
