Over 56% of 2019 budget expenditure released for capital projects- Minister

Ahmad, said various ministries, departments and agencies received N1.2 trillion (56.1%) out of the total N2.14 trillion (excluding the capital component of statutory transfers) capital budget.

“So far, as at last week, we have released up to N1.2 trillion in capital expenditure, which is a 50% performance of the capital for the whole year 2019.
According to a report, the security services, the Federal Government Unity Colleges as well as the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and the Nigeria Prisons Service are the MDAs considered critical. The government is reportedly working on the 12-month overhead release for this category of MDAs, according to Ahmad.

The Finance Minister also claimed that the return of the budget to the standard January-to-December period was worth celebrating. Nairametrics reported that President Muhammadu Buhari signed the 2020 Appropriation Bill into law and announced that it could still be reviewed for amendment.

She also listed the Finance Bill has one of the achievements of the Ministry, even though the bill hasn’t been passed by the National Assembly. Ahmad, however, thinks the 2019 Finance Bill will be passed before the end of this week.
