Economic Planning.
Presidency has
described the 2016 budget figures reported in the media about the
allocations to Ministries, Departments and
Agencies (MDAs) as incorrect.
According to a supposed top official, the budget is still in the works.
“Some
of the figures being bandied in news reports are probably from some of
the working documents which officials of the ministry are working with”, the official said.
Report said the final tally of such allocations is still being tinkered with by the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning.
President Muhammadu Buhari, on Dec. 29, 2015, presented a budget estimate of N6.08 trillion to a joint sitting of the National Assembly.
The
budget is predicated on a capital expenditure of N1.8 trillion – an
increase of over 300 per cent from the 2015 vote of N557 billion.
