Nigeria Running 4 National Budgets At Once
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on June 29, 2024, 9:00 PMWhat a nation, four budgets at once: "The Nigerian government's decision to implement the 2023 Approved Budget, the 2023 Supplementary Budget, the 2024 Approved Budget, and the 2024 Supplementary Budget concurrently has sparked significant controversy. BudgIT Foundation, a civic-tech organization in Nigeria, has strongly criticized this move, labeling it as unprecedented and fundamentally flawed."
Nigeria lacks strategic vision and when that happens in a nation, all problems appear like "money problems". Yes, if we put it in the budget with more money, the problem will be solved. That is not the issue. The real deal is that we have no capacity to execute, and measure impacts and outcomes. Otherwise, how do you execute 4 national budgets at once?
