4. While allocations NASS and NJC were by 10%, revised proposal allocations for UBEC and Basic Healthcare Fund (BHCF) were cut from 54% and 43%.

UBEC & BHCF budgets are tied to revenue performance but govt is not augmenting the shortfall for these budget lines.

THREAD: Nigeria is facing multiple threats of insecurity but how MUCH does the country spend on SECURITY?

Our security buget is N1.78tn. Do you feel more secured?

Let us take a look at 2020 Budget as related to security. #AskQuestions #AccessNG Image
The Nigerian Army & Nigerian Police take the biggest chunk of the security budgets. Image
Personnel and overhead costs make the chunk of recurrent expenditure. Nigeria still spends too low on capital expenditure (helicopters, tanks, guns) for security agencies. #AccessNG #2020Budget Image

We take a deep dive into the #2020budget to highlight some critical issues ranging from opaque line items, duplication of agencies & parastatals to repetition of line items every year. THREAD!

#AskQuestions
There is a need to look into the number of agencies under Nigerian ministries. With about 856 agencies under 27 ministries a lot of these only exist drawing recurrent expenditure every year without any meaningful impact. #AskQuestions Image
Nigeria has a number of agencies with duplicate functions. For example, we have a National Space Research & Development Agency in Abuja, a Centre For Space Transport Propulsion in Epe, a Centre For Basic Space Science in Nsukka, and an Advanced Aerospace Engine Laboratory, Oka. Image
