We sent a Memo to @nassnigeria highlighting our requests on the huge cuts in allocation to major sectors in the 2020 revised budget

UBEC Budget should be restored to N112bn &

Capital projects under Health Budget to N159bn

Other key sectors should also be prioritized

Thread!

N4.75bn cut was made to developmental projects under the capital component of the Ministry of Education

Capital projects in the Education budget should be restored to a minimum of N84bn which was initially approved

Developmental projects should also be introduced

@nassnigeria should vote more funds for UBEC as the UBEC budget ceiling doesn't stipulate 2% of consolidated revenue fund but ''not less than 2%''.

CRF should be reviewed from N2.52tn to N5.59tn thereby increasing the budget for UBEC from N51bn to N112bn.

Capital projects under the Health Budget should be restored to N159bn, which represents at least 10% of capital expenditure in the budget.

FG needs to introduce more projects meant solely for developmental impact

This current pandemic is enough to reveal the vulnerability of Nigeria’s health sector

Allocation for BHCF should be restored to the initial N44.5bn. The BHCF budget ceiling categorically stipulates ''not less than 1%'' which means that @nassnigeria can vote more funds for BHCF.

Capital projects that were reduced by N45bn under the Ministry of Agriculture should be restored.

Developmental projects witnessed a high deductions to the tune of over N19bn. We ask that new projects meant for this purpose be introduced

There were huge cuts in the allocation to @FMWHNIG with up to N55bn on specific projects meant for infrastructure development

@nassnigeria should also restore the capital projects that were reduced by N58bn under the @FMWHNIG

While we await the harmonized position of @nassnigeria on the proposed 2020 revised budget

Nigerians are counting on #NASS to use the collective power vested on them for the socio-economic interest of the people.
