BREAKING

Our 2020 Budget Implementation Analysis is out!

Debt servicing wiped off 97% (N3.34tn) of FG's total revenue(N3.42tn) in 2020.

Total expenditure stood at N10.01tn. This means nearly all FG’s salaries, overhead & CAPEX were financed with loans & CBN support.

THREAD
In 2020, FG projected a total revenue of N5.37tn; however, the actual total revenue eventually stood at N3.42tn. This represents a 63.71% revenue performance. #AskQuestions
FG’s revenue from oil had a significant boost.

FG’s budget was anchored on an oil revenue projection of N1.01tn, but as of Dec 31, 2020, actual oil revenue arrived at N1.41tn.

This surpassed the amended oil projections for the 2020 fiscal year #AskQuestions
For non-oil revenue, FG’s actual inflow stood at N1.26tn, despite projections of N1.62tn. This represents a 77.2% performance as of Dec 31, 2020

#AskQuestions
Meanwhile, FG claimed that it earned ZERO revenue from Stamp Duties and Domestic Recoveries+Assets+Fines, despite combined projections of N437bn. #AskQuestions
Despite low revenue earned (N3.42tn), FG’s total expenditure was N10.01tn, representing 93% performance when compared with the budgeted amount of N10.81tn.

Of this 10.01tn, N4.65tn was spent on non-debt recurrent expenditure. #AskQuestions
A critical highlight with non-debt recurrent expenditure is the actuals on Pensions. FG disbursed only N359bn of the N536bn budget for pension. This means that many pensioners didn't get their pensions during the heat of COVID-19. #AskQuestions
The cost of servicing FG's debt is drowning Nigeria as the cost continues to grow, gulping a total of N3.34tn (97%) from the total revenue.

This means that for every N100 that FG made in 2020, N97 was spent on debt servicing. #AskQuestions
CAPEX keeps getting the short end of the stick, as ONLY N1.60tn was devoted to capital projects in 2020. This is not acceptable!

Recall that FG had a CAPEX plan (exclusive of transfers) of N2.69tn, this means only 59.5% (slightly over half) of the 2020 projection was actualised.
The budget of N428.03 for Statutory Transfers in 2020 was disbursed. However, there is no breakdown or implementation report of how this money was spent/disbursed. #AskQuestions

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.
