Secretary to the Government of
the Federation,(SGF) Boss Mustapha has urged the National Assembly to hasten
work on the 2018 budget proposal to enable its quick passage.
He made the appeal when he
appeared before Senate Committee on Federal Character to defend his office
budget for 2018.
He said it has become imperative
to ensure that the budget is passed on time to avoid a glitch especially as the
country goes into election next year.
“It is our prayer that the
National Assembly will consider and approved the proposed 2018 budget of the
Office of the SGF to enable government perform better than last year”, he said.
The SGF, however, disclosed that
his office has developed mechanism to effectively monitor and evaluate the
budget performance and implementation of the various Ministries, Departments
and Agencies (MDAs).
He said his office would also use
the mechanism to monitor releases and timeline for the completion of projects.
The SGF, therefore, pleads with
the National Assembly to conclude work on the budget document.
The National Assembly had just
before it embarked on New Year holiday punch holes in the 2018 budget, arguing
that it is garnished in errors and inconsistencies.
The proposed capital budget for
the office of the SGF for 2018 is N2.492 billion while personal cost stands at
N3.398 billion.
