Dear Nigerians,

On Jan 3, @MBuhari signed the 2023 Appropriation Bill of N21.83tn into law, Nigeria’s largest budget in history & the last of his administration. The budget is based on a N10.49tn revenue, and N11.34tn deficit.

Where will this money come from? 1/5 #AskQuestion
From the total revenue of N10.49tn, independent revenue has the highest share of N2.62tn, Non-oil Revenue has N2.43tn, while N2.23tn will be gotten from oil revenue. Retained Revenue from GOEs is N2.42tn, and other revenue will generate N794.13bn. 2/5
Of the N21.83tn budget, recurrent expenditure has the highest allocation of N8.33tn, gulping nearly 40% of the budget. This includes a personnel cost of N5.02tn, overhead cost of N1.11tn, statutory deductions of N967.49bn & pension, gratuity & retirees benefit at N854.81tn…3/5
...N6.31tn has been earmarked for debt service, representing approximately 29%, while capital expenditure has 27% of the budget at N6.45tn. 4/5
The 2023 budget is based on oil production of 1.69 million barrels per day at $75 per barrel. The projected GDP growth will be at 3.75%, with an exchange rate of N435.57/$ and an inflation rate of 17.16%. 5/5.

A detailed analysis of the budget is ongoing and will be out soon.

Dear Nigerians,

@MBuhari has asked @nassnigeria to approve the securitization of FG's N22.7tn debt to @cenbank.

Is it legal for @nassnigeria to approve the request of the FG to securitize the Ways & Means, which goes against the CBN Act?

Thread!
Since 2015, the FG has asked @cenbank to provide advances to fund its fiscal deficit without any requirement for cost-cutting measures/fiscal control. The law stipulates that such advances should be limited to 5% of the previous year's revenues. This law has not been followed.
Also, Section 38 of the CBN Act mandates the FG to repay all advances made by the CBN to it at the end of the financial year in which the advances were received. Failure to repay the advances in full implies that the FG will not be eligible for further advances by the CBN.

We conducted an analysis on the quality of @nassnigeria’s FG Budget reviews. Our findings point to gross abuse of appropriation powers, fueling inefficiency & waste that contribute to poor service delivery and ineffective economic policy.

1,522 projects with a cumulative cost of N186.61bn were inserted into the #2022budget of @FmardNg. Key allocations to projects that are crucial to achieving the strategic goal of the Nat Devt Plan were drastically reduced to create fiscal space for the @nassnigeria insertions.2/5
Worrisomely, a number of projects in the 2022 approved budget can be directly linked to principal officers of the National Assembly. It would seem that National Assembly members are becoming more emboldened to put their names on public projects funded with taxpayers' money. 3/5

How is the @NigeriaGov improving public procurement? Is SFTAS intervention working?

According to the @WorldBank SFTAS assessment report, only 15 of 36 states met the DLI 6.1 requirement, while 16 met the DLI 6.2 requirement and published data on all contracts awarded.

Thread!
Let’s take a step back to understand open contracting!

Open contracting is a system of procurement that allows disclosure of procurement data at all stages and engagement and feedback from other stakeholders. #FixOurOil
To improve public procurement, the @NigeriaGov created a portal that allows the increase and disclosure of procurement information to all stakeholders to ensure efficient service delivery, improved transparency, and accountability. #FixOurOil

@BudgITng, in collaboration with @oxfam, continues to advocate for accountability and transparency in the extractive sector through #opencontracting. #FixOurOil

Thread!
Open contracting is a procurement method that supports feedback and increases competition among potential contractors. It is crucial for transparency purposes and will help prevent fraud and corruption. #FixOurOil
Countries worldwide are adopting open contracting to promote best practices for public procurement disclosures and participation. Nigeria is one of the countries making great efforts to increase contract transparency. #FixOurOil
