…while the comprehensive budget breakdown of GOEs, @nassnigeria, National Judicial Council, Public Complaints Commission, INEC, and TETFUND totaling N3.32tn was excluded from the budget that was passed and published.
This does not mean the country operates two separate budgets.

There’s only one final 2024 budget known to us.

However, the summary budget of the aforementioned agencies was passed by the National Assembly and included in the published approved budget.

🗣️ 2024 Budget Proposal: BudgIT Highlights Alarming Issues, Discrepancies, Calls for Urgent Review.

Having reviewed the proposed 2024 Appropriation Bill breakdown, it’s unfortunate that the @officialABAT administration has continued with some harmful budget practices from previous regimes that have fostered corruption, underdevelopment, unemployment, and multidimensional poverty.

In August 2023, we itemized ten plagues that the Tinubu administration should avoid in the 2024 budget and budget process to ensure value for money, curb expenditure inefficiency and waste, enforce accountability, and put Nigeria on the pathway of prosperity, economic growth, and development.
Unfortunately, having reviewed the proposed 2024 Appropriation Bill breakdown, we observed that the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration has continued with some deleterious budget practices from previous regimes that have fostered corruption, underdevelopment, unemployment, and multidimensional poverty.

“Nigeria is a democratic country limited by the political terms of a 4 year cycle. BudgIT believes that Nigeria cannot find progress and opportunities if it does not reposition its thinking to a long-term process devoid of this political cycle.” - @seunonigbinde Image

📢 FG allocates N81.7bn for STREETLIGHT construction in the 2023 budget, higher than the total amount for schools and PHCs combined.

PRESS STATEMENT

Thread! #AskQuestions ImageImageImageImage
A total of N81.7b was allocated to the construction of solar street lights in the 2023 FG Capital and Constituency projects. This is higher than the total allocation to schools and primary health centers, which gulp N77.9b and N3.1b, respectively, in the budget. #AskQuestions. Image
The bogus allocation to streetlights is a gross misplacement of priority as Nigeria is also presently littered with non-functional and vandalized streetlights that have stopped working less than two years after their construction. #AskQuestions
