When a ministry prepares it's budget, it is vetted by the Minister and then passed on to the Budget / Finance office who now prepares the final document which the president presents to NASS.

After the budget proposal has left a ministry, it can be tampered with by the Budget or Finance ministry. That's what happened in this case sir.

Of what use is that minister of Finance sef? Asides budget phttp://www.nairaland.com/likesandsharesadding?
why have they decided to rubbish Fashola like this?
Making him look like a common thief...Tufia

delivryboy:
Fashola's budget I don't get, does Fashola as an individual have a budget in Nigeria? Must you drag his name into it to prove your weightless point. This is a ministry for goodness sake, budget goes through several different commitees including legislative bodies. Get your facts right people before posting sensational stories that frizzle out after few hours due to lack of substance.

Love Machine:
Fashola may not be the one who insert it but he will sure get his cut from it after the illicit deal is accomplished.

Youngzedd:


It's because they don't have a share.

No be Naija we dey.

Ajibel:


1. It is not an illicit deal because there is a purpose for the fund only that it is not coming from the ministry.

2. Fashola was a governor in Lagos state and enjoys pensions and is currently a minister with a good pay so he's never in any way going to enrich himself via inflated contracts. With the positions he has found himself in, he is highly contented.

Love Machine:
Human want is insatiable.

NextGovernor:
Will be very difficult for this country to stop corruption. The other day I met secondary school students saying they wanna become governor and ministers so they can build houses in Germany, US and other parts of the world. The other guy said he wanna be moving on 20 cars and power bike as escorts. The other guy said he will go and pack money abroad to come and paint the town red.

No one is talking about being a Professor
No one is talking about being an Engineer
No one is talking about being a Scientist/Doctor
No one is talking about being an Agriculturist
No one is talking about being an Entrepreneur

Corruption is even with the unborn child in Nigeria

I rest my case.

Kill corruption and you will see the glory of Nigeria will shine among-st the comity of nations, allow corruption to continue, Nigeria will continue to deteriorate till the end of the world, even if Nigeria prays every second of the day , the prayer will be meaningless, corruption is the DEMON & MONSTER that has crippled Nigeria .

Ajibel:


Bro, please understand how this stuffs works before crucifying Fashola here. The 2bn wasn't inserted by his ministry but the finance ministry so why bring Fashola and corruption into same sentence?

Sunky200:


no, this case na do me i do you.

the house of representathieves and sinators were exposed last year though very unfortunate that no one was made scape goat except for poor Jibrin, this year is the executives turn.

who says was against corruption will yield no result?

johnbuck81:
and d political EFCC would keep a blind eye and act dumb.

teebell999:


How did u mean? The minister just acknowledged he wasn't the one who put the project in the budget.
U just expect EFCC to just grab him and jail him for what has not been proben he actually did without any further investigation? BAD BELLE!!!

bros if u are correct .. Then the budget/finance minister should be up there defending the budget...

but on d contrary .. The Minister Fashola who is solely responsible for everything that happens in the ministry is there to defend the budget of his ministry...

now if anything was added.. Firstly he would've cross-checked to make sure his reputation is not tarnished....

also on another note... Probably he was told about the inclusion and refused it ... But as Nigerians ... Theyl tell him .. "ah .. Oga leave am... Dem nogo talk... If them talk .. We go defend am.."...

hence, the reason he said to call the minister of finance to come and defend the inclusion in the budget...

All in all ... There is no excuse for ignorance... I don't know how it got there is not an excuse when u endorsed the budget...

N2bn is not an oversight... A couple of thousands here and there, yes.... Not N2bn...

not saying the man is a thief oooo .. But ave always thought something was fishy about that man when i heard him say .. He doesn't sign cheques ...so he only deals with cash abi...??...

Funny thing was everybody just took it lightly ..laughed over it n that was the end of the story...

if things continue like dis.. "flimsy oversights"... It is our children that will suffer...

as u see them sooo... These ppl u r defending ave already laid up riches for generations to come.... They don't care about the welfare of the people...

okay oooo... #wearewatching...

Please stop making excuses for mediocrity.

You submit a document to the budget office. You KNOW that even in a non fraudulent exercise, in the normal course of business the Budget office WILL work on your submission...that's their job. So won't you check to make sure the budget you are defending is the budget you submitted? How much more after the padding fiasco of the last budget.


I'm sorry we need to stop making excuses or we will never get anywhere as a country. Fashola is a Lawyer, he relies on associates to do the dirty work. If Fashola employed a lawyer who didn't check his work properly before going to court leading to embarrassment at the court, that lawyer will be sacked!!! I dont think he became a SAN by not being thorough or employing people who are not thorough. What is the benefit of having people with private sector experience in govt if they get to govt and behave like anything goes sloppy civil servants? He didn't have to check it himself, he could have detailed someone he trusts to go over what he submitted and what was sent to the National Assembly before embarrassing himself.


If you want to defend (or are ok with) mediocrity, feel free it's your perogative...but don't complain that nothing works in your country. The new administration already had an embarrassing episode with padding, your govt came to pwer on the mantra of sweeping out corruption, it behoves him to check what he submitted is what he is defending before going to the NA to embarrass himself.


Let me make it clear i am not accusing him of sharp practice, ,my charge is sloppyness
