2019 BUDGET STILL ON DEBT SERVICING; NOT CLEARANCE
When will this country quell debt servicing
and cease from depending on international communities for financial aids?
The presentation of the budget was presented
under a rowdy session with opposition lawmakers repeatedly booing the
President as he listed his achievements.
The budget proposal was prepared based on the
following assumptions: Oil price: $60 per barrel of oil production rate: 2.3
million barrels per day exchange rate: N305 to $1 Real GDP growth: 3.01 per
cent inflation rate: 9.98 per cent.
Below is a part of the 2019 budget breakdown.
Recurrent – N4.04 trillion
Debt service – N2.14 trillion
Statutory transfer – N492.36 billion
Sinking fund – N120 billion
Capital expenditure – N2.031 trillion
