Why FG can’t achieve full implementation of 2016 budget

As a result of the late assent of the 2016 budget, the Federal Government has said it’s unlikely that full implementation of the document can be achieved.

The 2016 Appropriation Bill was on Friday, May 6, signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari, almost six months after submitting the document to the National Assembly.

Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma, made this disclosure to journalists shortly after Buhari signed the budget at the President Villa, Abuja.

“Our own will always be 100 per cent implementation. We know that because we started late, we may not achieve it but that is our aim.”

“We will start off with that aim because the budget is a law so we will try and implement it as faithfully as we can. However, the reality is that we may not (achieve it) because we started late.”

“In subsequent years, we will start earlier to give us a better chance of implementing the budget in full. But we will do our best.”
