THREAD: Nigeria is facing multiple threats of insecurity but how MUCH does the country spend on SECURITY?

Our security buget is N1.78tn. Do you feel more secured?

Let us take a look at 2020 Budget as related to security. #AskQuestions #AccessNG Image
The Nigerian Army & Nigerian Police take the biggest chunk of the security budgets. Image
Personnel and overhead costs make the chunk of recurrent expenditure. Nigeria still spends too low on capital expenditure (helicopters, tanks, guns) for security agencies. #AccessNG #2020Budget Image
Here are top CAPITAL expenditure for Nigerian Army, Nigerian Navy and Airforce.. What's your take? #AccessNG Image

Hello Nigerians,

According to the 2023 Fiscal Accounts Report of the Accountant General of the Federation, Nigeria's Federal Government made a revenue of N5.99tn, spent N19.50tn, and recorded a deficit of N13.50tn—225% of the total revenue.

What does this mean? The government spent more than three times what it earned in revenue

🗣️🗣️ It is worrisome that the Federal Government is drafting a 2024 Supplementary Budget to be implemented alongside the 2023 Approved Budget, 2023 Supplementary Budget, and 2024 Approved Budget.

FOUR budgets at once—an unprecedented anomaly.

Recall that the 2023 Approved Budget of N21.83 trillion, signed into law by President @MBuhari in January 2023, was designed to run for 12 calendar months from January to December, as is the practice globally.
In addition, while the 2024 Appropriation Bill was being drafted, the 2023 Supplementary Budget of N2.17 trillion was passed by the National Assembly and assented to by President @officialABAT barely two months before the end of the 2023 fiscal year.

🗣️🗣️ Hello Nigerians,

Our findings on Senator Ningi’s allegations of N3.7 trillion budget padding for 2024 budget shows that a breakdown of N25.4tn was provided for the budgets of the Ministries, Departments and Agencies…

…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.
