What Happens To The $1bn Approved For Purchase Of Arms? by TonyeBarcanista(m): 1:37pm On Jun 26, 2019
In April 2018 it was reported that the Federal Executive Council approved $1bn for purchase of arms to tackle BOKO HARAM and other insurgents.

https://dailypost.ng/2018/04/04/buhari-approves-release-1bn-security-equipment-fight-boko-haram/

The National Economic Council equally approved $1 billion for the fight against Boko Haram same April 2018.

However, in December 2018, the Nigeria Army through its acting Spokesman complained that the money is yet to be released despite the approval.

We are rounding off June 2019, more than 14 months after approval yet NOTHING has been released to the Army/Military yet, miscreants, kidnappers, bandits, terrorists and insurgents have been having a field day in Nigeria.

Where is the $1bn as approved? Who is sitting on it?

The fulani NAS has swallowed the money and buhari isn't batting an eye lid.
But he has been dragging metuh for $1million.

So much for fighting corruption.

2. The fact that the Army deployed the drone in the picture you posted for that specific operation doesn't mean they don't have bigger and better drones.

3. Where is the sense and wisdom in comparing any drone in Nigeria with the drones in the US? Are we on the same level technologically or militarily?

Maybe Britain and other advanced countries should go and die because they don't have US type drones.

Over 90% of our earnings as FGN goes to procurement of Peace in the Northern Nigeria. This crisis are all self inflicted by Islamists who are lazy asses that do nothing but depends on Southern resources and wealth to be used for Islamisation and fulanization.

It's pathetic.

The Nigerian Army has said that about seven months after the sum of $1 billion was approved by the Federal Government to fight Boko Haram and other security threats across the country, it was yet to access its share of the fund. It regretted that the fund was still domiciled in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), even as he assured that efforts were being made by the Ministry of Defence to facilitate the release and consequent application. It will be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had, sometime in April, given approval for the release of $1 billion, for the purchase of arms and other equipment, to fight the Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East. However, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.- Gen. Tukur Buratai, has said the Army had yet to receive the cash, contrary to expectations.

The COAS, who said the process for the release of the fund had begun, pledged that the right equipment would be procured, once the service accessed the cash. “You know the process of funding is another major issue. The bureaucracy and so on is another issue. Approvals are given, but before you really get the money out is another challenge. “So, the people are talking or the media have been talking of $1 billion that has been approved, but I tell you up till today the fund that is supposed to come from that amount to the army in particular, is still in CBN.

“The Ministry of Defence is yet to access the fund, while people say the funds are with the military; no, it is still with CBN.


“When the ministry of defence gets the funds, the process is on right now, they will get the right equipment for us as proposed,” the army chief said.

He said the fund could only be spent "upon and in the manner as shall be approved by the National Assembly and assented to in an Appropriation Act or a supplementary Appropriation Act."

Enang repeated that Buhari had not approved the sum for any release of the arms' procurement or application howsoever.

He said before any sum is released from the Consolidated Revenue Fund, there must be

Appropriation Act, Vote of Charge and Warrant which is legally predicated on appropriation authorization sub-head under the Act.

Look at this ipob Zombie wannabee posting bogus links all over the place just to prove some ignorant and unintelligent point.

At your pitiful old age, you still don't know basic constitutional requirements about spending and appropriation.

See what lack of brown paper turn you into, just another joker posting dumb and unintelligent nonsense all over the internet.
