Deceit Behind The Nigerian 2018 Budget

source

President Buhari's budget signing speech should be published in pamphlets and be translated into all major Nigerian languages for the understanding all every Nigerian.

• You mean Ekweremadu sat there and watched as the budgeted amount meant for the construction of Enugu terminal was reduced to N500 million from 2billion

• with all his common sense, Ben Bruce was speaking grammar while the provisions for various Strategic Interventions in the health sector such as the upgrade of some tertiary health institutions, transport and storage of vaccines, provision of anti-retroviral drugs for persons on treatment, establishment of chemotherapy centres and procurement of dialysis consumables were cut by an aggregate amount of 7.45 billion Naira.

• Shehu Sani will pretend to be the champion of the talakawas, (the poor people) but he was there when his colleagues increased their own budget by N14 billion. Meanwhile, the provision for security infrastructure in the 104 Unity Schools across the country were cut by N3 billion.

• Meanwhile, those ethnic champions who have been hoping to win back their senatorial seats by deceiving their people that Buhari is anti south east and south-south were among those who contributed to cutting the budget of the Second Niger Bridge/ancillary roads,
  Bonny-Bodo Road, and the East-West Road.

But what do we know. The National Assembly after all is not a rubber stamp of the executive.
