Differences Between The Old And New Budget 2016 by realjoker(m): 9:17am On Jan 15, 2016 |
Controversies over the 2016 budget may have just begun, with a fresh N3.9 billion injected into the second version of the budget presented by Ita Enang, special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on national assembly matters (senate). On December 22, 2015, the president had presented the appropriation bill before a joint session of the national assembly, and was well received as an expansionary budget aimed at stimulating the economy. On Tuesday, it was discovered that the budget was missing at the senate, and there have been speculations that it was withdrawn for correction. Senate President Bukola Saraki met Buhari immediately after the senate plenary session, and thereafter dismissed the reports, saying the budget was with them. The presidency said hundreds of copies of the budget were presented to the national assembly and all could not possibly be missing. TheCable obtained both copies of the budget and highlighted the disparities between the two versions of the 1,810-page document. Most of the changes made were relating to the state house and the presidency in general. Fresh N3.9 billion was included for routine maintenance of the presidential villa, while the amount stipulated for the purchase of BMW salon cars was reduced from N3.6 billion to N340 million. Below is a table showing the changes made to the 2016 budget: ALTERATIONS TO THE OLD VERSION OF THE BUDGET DESCRIPTION Old Budget (N) New Budget (N) Difference (N) STATE HOUSE – HQTRS (TOTAL OVERHEAD) 2,063,951,770 1,963,951,772 Reduced by 99,999,998 STATE HOUSE – HQTRS (TOTAL RECURRENT) 3,640,645,629 3,540,645,631 Reduced by 99,999,998 OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE PRESIDENT (TOTAL ALLOCATION) 2,258,000 27,258,000 Increased by 25,000,000 OFFICE OF THE CHIEF SECURITY OFFICER TO THE PRESIDENT (TOTAL ALLOCATION) 3,177,380 28,177,380 Increased by 25,000,000 STATE HOUSE MEDICAL CENTRE 3,865,629,221 3,890,629,221 Increased by 25,000,000 STATE HOUSE LAGOS LIAISON OFFICE 126,727,005 151,727,005 Increased by 25,000,000 OVERHEAD COST (STATE HOUSE) 1,964,893,444 1,864,893,446 Reduced by 99,999,998 OTHER RECURRENT COSTS (STATE HOUSE) 2,063,951,770 1,963,951,772 Reduced by 99,999,998 MISCELLANEOUS (STATE HOUSE) 454,145,445 354,145,445 Reduced by 100,000,000 PURCHASE OF BMW SALOON CARS AND JEEPS (5NOS.EACH) 3,630,000,000 340,000,000 Reduced by 3,290,000,000 RENOVATION WORK ON 8 NO.BLOCKS OF 16 NO. 2 BEDROOM FLATS AT STATE HOUSE SECURITY QUARTERS, ASOKORO “NEW QUARTERS” Absent in old budget 254,587,922 Fresh 254,587,922 WILDLIFE CONSERVATION 326,084,876 115,829,076 Reduced by 210,255,800 ANNUAL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF VILLA FACILITIES BY JBN Absent in old budget 3,914,197,062 Fresh 3,914,197,062 CONSTRUCTION AND PROVISION OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES 764,671,015 Absent 764,671,015 Removed ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION OF DISTRIBUTION BOARDS AND OTHER CABLES 191,592,132 371,733,964 Increased by 180,141,832 PURCHASE OF 33 SEATER COASTER BUSES 158,000,000 120,000,000 Reduced by 38,000,000 PURCHASE OF 16 SEATER TOYOTA HIACE COASTER BUSES. 204,000,000 120,000,000 Reduced by 84,000,000 OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE PRESIDENT (TOTAL OVERHEAD) 0 25,000,000 Fresh 25,000,000 OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE PRESIDENT (TOTAL RECURRENT) 0 25,000,000 Fresh 25,000,000 FEDERAL MINISTRY OF SOLID MINERALS (WEBSITE UPDATE) 0 795,234,275 Fresh 795,234,275 MAINTENANCE OF FME WEBSITE AND PROVISION OF ANTIVIRUS AND PORTAL DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT FOR NIGERIA EDUCATION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM 15,000,000 273,657,322 Increased by 258,657,322 https://www.thecable.ng/fresh-n3-9bn-for-villa-maintenance-n795m-for-website-all-the-alterations-to-budget-2016 4 Likes 3 Shares |

What is embarrassing about the current budget debacle is the clandestine manner the Presidency went about it. What is even more worrisome is that they do not consider it morally expedient to own up to this national disgrace and explain to Nigerians why they did what they did - even if it is Damage Control. --- The National Assembly should be courageous enough to say it the way it is. The Presidency is a complete joke and the NASS should call them out. If their intentions were pure, are there no official channels to withdraw and correct the budget? Couldn't they just claim that they wanted to adjust the budget based on current realities of oil price? Our leaders are so dumb and brazen in their dumbness, that they think the whole citizenry is dumb too. --- Did I just notice a fresh budget of N795m for website upgrade for Ministry of Solid Minerals? That had better be a clerical error, else that would be a joke of epic proportions. --- I don't care how genuine or patriotic their reasons were, using a fraudulent method to do the right thing is wrong. It will only serve as a precedence and simply reinforce the cycle of wrongdoing. This is a democracy and democratic channels must be engaged in doing the right thing. 131 Likes 12 Shares |

If the wailers above aren't so intellectually lazy, they would simply have added all the reductions made and added all the additions made and compared both figures to see if there's been a net increase in the overall budgetary sum. But of course they can't- they are called Wailers for a reason. 18 Likes |

The government of APC who promised Nigerians CHANGE and different way of governance is nothing but a caricature when compared to the last administration of PDP. I presume PDP is better coordinated than APC, how to you explain this continuous show of shame and international disgrace for a simple matter of presenting budget to a house headed and populated by APC members ? APC budget of SHAME is nothing but a complete fraud and attempt to professional bankrupt Nigeria. I implore you to take an objective view of the budget as published on the budget office website and see the professional way APC planned to loot the country resources without leaving any trace. My point is clear, NOTHING has APC, Party of professional liars and career fraudsters. 27 Likes 2 Shares
