THREAD: What do you know about POVERTY based on new report by @nigerianstat?

The poor is classified as anyone in an household with average spending per person less than N377 per day or N137,430. #EvenitUp Image
This means a couple earning combined minimum wage of N60,000 and spending just that on a household with four children, are considered poor by national standards. #EvenITup Image
There are also levels in the poverty bracket by national standards. Household size is an important factor. Image
17 states are above the National poverty like of 40.1, which means they have highest incidence of poverty . Borno State was not considered in the survey. States Image
The NBS report showed impact of education on household expenditure and poverty classification. Those with less formal education tend to be more poor. #Evenitup Image
There's no clarity that agriculture as primary occupation for those in rural areas is making them richer. Those in the poverty line especially in rural areas have agriculture as primary activity. #Evenitup Image
Poverty is also rife in large households, possibly with more children. There's a huge tendency of poverty in households with more than 10 persons. #Evenitup ImageImage
NBS also puts out a disclaimer that it has changed methodology and this report should not be compared with others. #EvenItUp Image

As we kick off the 2nd phase of #CTAP in 10 African Countries, here are 10 things to expect from BudgT & CODE in the next few months.👇
...

We will enhance the covidfund.africa platform with a digital dashboard that tracks health sector resources.

#Account4COVID Image
We will mobilise 1.7m Africans to demand health sector accountability, demystify issues regarding vaccine delivery to at least 850,000 Africans & organise capacity building sessions for over 100 CSOs on prioritising vulnerable communities regarding health sector advocacy.

#CTAP Image
We will also build an alliance with at least 1000 community leaders and cultural influencers, facilitate dialogue sessions between CSOs and the government and expand our communication bandwidth with the civil society and other sectoral partners, among others.

BREAKING

BudgIT identifies 460 duplicated projects totalling N378bn and other corruption loopholes in the #2022budget.

BudgIT also raises alarm on the N67.8m allocated to the Ministry of Environment to “build gun armouries” in 4 states, a project outside its mandate.

Thread!
Our preliminary analysis of the 21,108 capital projects in the 2022 approved budget revealed 460 duplicated projects amounting to N378.9billion. Recall that BudgIT observed 316 duplicated projects in the 2021 FG Budget approved by @nassnigeria. @ICPC_PE verified 257 duplications,
while the Budget Office confirmed the existence of only 185 duplicated projects worth N20.13bn, after which it informed the public that funds were not released for the projects in 2021.

FG missed its revenue target for the 6th time after earning N2.31tn from the projected sum of N3.31tn for H1 2021.

Of this amount, debt servicing wiped off N2.O2tn, leaving ONLY N290bn for non-debt recurrent expenses.

How did FG finance its salaries, overheads & CAPEX?

Thread!
The 2021 budget was anchored on an oil revenue projection of N1.01tn as of Jun 2021; however, FG’s share of actual H1 oil revenue stood at N538bn, indicating a 53% performance.

For non-oil revenue, the actual inflow stood at N778bn, slightly above the projection of N744bn.
A quick analysis of other revenue sources reveals that FG recorded ZERO revenue from stamp duties and (Domestic recoveries+Assets+Fines), despite the projections of N250bn and N16.34bn in each category, respectively.

Last week, we engaged state and non-state actors of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (@AmacLg) in a 1-day capacity building workshop on how to leverage participatory budgeting for implementing OGP’s local action plans effectively.

This project was supported by @NEDemocracy
The workshop, which was aimed at strengthening @OpenAllianceNG in the OGP process, focused on 4 main areas including, how to reach the underserved communities through participatory budgeting and the role of legislators in participatory budgeting.
In his remark, @AdamuCandido noted that his administration is an all-inclusive govt which informed the council’s drive towards signing up for OGP in 2020, making it the only LG in Nigeria to be a member of OGP.

We have combed the 2168-page 2022 budget document, & we found ZERO breakdown of the N198billion oil company payments to NDDC.

Our analysis also reveals critical issues of unrealistic revenue targets, soaring year-on-year debt burden and weak accountability structure.

THREAD!
The omission of NDDC’s entire capital budget allocation from the proposed 2022 budget and public scrutiny is a source of concern, especially given the scale of alleged corruption and diversion of public funds that has afflicted this federal agency since its inception.
NDDC receives an average of N198.7 billion per year from the operating budgets of oil companies (between 2016 and 2018) in addition to the annual Statutory Transfers it receives from the federal government (the latter which is projected to be N98.7bn in the 2022 budget).

#10yearsofBudgIT: A day with the press

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting @mrmacaronii at our press conference. Facilitating increased citizen-led engagements & advocacy is critical to our next phase, and we're glad he's giving his support for future collaborations.
In @seunonigbinde's words, BudgIT's vision started with the objective of making the budget available and accessible to the public. "It is really great to see that vision morph into something extraordinary",- he said
"Reaching over 17 million Nigerians and empowering over 150 CSOs in ten years is not a small feat. We have played a major role in defining the landscape of Nigeria's civic-tech space, and we are currently engraving our footprints within Africa's civic-tech space."#10yearsofBudgIT
