2016 Budget Yet to be Presented - Does this Show that Buhari is unprepared

It has been stated that the delay by the Nigerian President in presenting the 2016 budget proposals to the National Assembly is an indication that he is unprepared for governance, this statement was made by CSJ, Mr. Eze Onyekpere, the Executive Director of the Centre for Social Justice, during the round-table meeting on Budget Transparency and Public Engagement in Budget Process in Abuja, which followed the release of the Open Budget Survey 2015.

He said: “That the executive has not presented the 2016 budget to the National Assembly until now shows the unpreparedness of the current administration in matters of governance.”
He said: “That the executive has not presented the 2016 budget to the National Assembly until now shows the unpreparedness of the current administration in matters of governance.”
Further said:

“Right now, we don’t have the MTEF to underpin the budget and we don’t have the budget. The implication is that the budget is going to be presented very late and it may not be ready until the end of the first quarter of 2016, which has been the usual tradition. The implications are not funny for the administration of the Nigerian people.
“That means that the capital budget will be delayed and by the time they approve it in March, April or May, it will be raining season and all out-door constructions will stop.
“So we are continuing the cycle of poor capital budget implementation and of course that would mean addressing less of the needs of the Nigerian people who are suffering infrastructure deficit and also attending to less of the poor because the majority of Nigerians are poor and the budget is expected to address their needs,”
