Is President @MBuhari's govt prioritizing the welfare of Nigerians?
Investments in capital projects & critical sectors have been abysmal!
FG is to spend over 87% of its allocations to Health & Education on recurrent expenses
Capital projects got just 12%

N414bn which represents just 3.8% of total budget size was allocated for the health sector
N363bn which is 87.6% of allocation to health will be spent on personnel and admin costs
Meanwhile just N51bn set aside for capital projects.
This is not good enough!
Allocations to Ministry of Agriculture @FmardNg is a paltry N160bn. This represents just 1% of the total 2020 revised budget.
This is not okay.
@NigeriaGov needs to invest more in Agriculture if it plans to make the sector a strong pillar of Nigeria's FEE.

Allocation to the ministry of humanitarian affairs racked up just 4% of the total budget size.
84% of its allocation will be spent on personnel and administrative expenses.
This ministry needs more investment as it directly affects the welfare of the citizens.
#RevisedBudget
As for Works & Housing sector (@FMWHNIG) and @PowerMinNigeria, allocations represents just 2.67% and 1.23% of the total budget, respectively
@NigeriaGov needs to invest more in both sectors
Allocations for capital expenditures in both sectors were N265bn and 128bn respectively.
