CHAPTER ONE 

INTRODUCTION

1.1     BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The president and commander in chief of Nigeria’s Armed forces, Dr. Goodluck Ebere Jonathan on Wednesday 15 December 2010 presented the 2011 appropriation bill to the join sitting of National Assembly. According to the president, the 2011 appropriation is a budget of fiscal consolidation, inclusive economic growth and employment generation. The president went further to say that the budget proposal is underpinned by four pillars that are to foster inclusive growth and job creations; optimize  capital spending by rationalizing recurrent expenditure and maximizing government’s revenues, accelerate the implementation of reforms to enhance the quality and efficiency of public expenditure and reinstate greater prudence in the management of the nation’s financial resources. While giving account of happening in 2010, the president said despite global challenges, Nigeria’s economy has remained resilient as a result of this administration’s efforts to maintain macroeconomic stability and promote socio-economic development.

Real Gross domestic product growth is robust, increasing from 7.36 percent in the first quarter of the year to 7.86 percent in the third quarter. While the non-oil sector remains the key driver of our economic growth, the oil sector has recovered significantly in recent times, with oil production rising due to the favourable investment environment fostered by the Niger Delta Amnesty programme.

The 2011 budget is not inspiring; its full of rhetoric which Nigerians have been feed over the years. There is still poor implementation of 2010 budget akin to what was expended in 2009 and previous years. As earlier observed, the major distraction for the consideration and implementation of the 2011 budget will be politics as it will be a year of trade off and payment of political union by whoever wins the 2011 elections, even if the incumbent wins. Tuesday Daily SUN newspaper 2011.

The new budget has N1.005 trillion set aside as a capital vote out of a total of N4.2 trillion budget, this is still unhealthy given the deplorable state of many of our social infrastructures. Nigeria is still largely import dependent and mono-culture having to depend on crude oil According to Jide O. 2014.

According to Odoh N. (2012), A budget is a framework within which nations and individuals align plans with a practical set of processes and procedures to meet specific goals. A budget is nothing more than a fantasy if it is not designed to be implemented. Without budgets, nations and individuals float like drift wood on water. Their destinations are uncertain and their destiny unsure. The thought that the 2014 budget has not been reviewed, amended and passed by the National Assembly (NASS) is a matter of major concern to the house. It plays up the fragility and fickleness of the process of short term planning in the country.

According to His Excellency, Sullivan Iheanacho Chime on the occasion of the presentation of the year 2014 budget proposal to the Enugu State House of Assembly on Tuesday December 10. 2013, I make bold to say that the 2013 budget was consistent with our development framework designed to impact positively on our people across the entire state. From the onset, we made our intentions clear that this government would give priority attention to constructing new roads and rehabilitating numerous others in various state of disrepairs. Our reason was simple, it was meant to improve travel times, enhance connectivity with our rural communities and reduce read accidents and other vices associated with bad roads.

According to Onyebuchi S. (2013), the policy thrust of the 2013 budget tagged “Budget of sustainability” include consolidating on the gains of the 2012 budget, completion of ongoing projects, increased involvement of private sector in development of the state and provision of socio-economic infrastructure in rural and urban areas. Onyebuchi said that the government would continue with the construction of new classroom blocks and the rehabilitation of existing ones in the primary, secondary and tertiary institutions in the state in its quest to create the right teaching and learning environment in the schools.

1.2     STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS

Despite the fact that budget spells out the policies which the government intends to use to improve the quality of the citizen through the promotion of economic growth, development, full employment etc. There are many loopholes inherent in the system such as poor budget implementation, late budgetary preparation and weak legislative oversight, uneven budget policy and decision, poor budget evaluation and supervision. Indeed it is utterly worrisome that budget forecast figure is subject to change during allocation as well as the budgeted material due to poor leadership skills in management of budget implementation.

I actually googled and saw about iproject master, copied the number and contacted them through WhatsApp to ask for the availability of the material and to my luck they have it. So there was a delay with the project due to the covid19 pandemic. I was really scared before making the payment cause I’ve been scammed twice, they attended so well to me and that made me trust the process and made the payment and provided them with proof, I got my material in less than 10minutes
