The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has urged the United Nations to request the Nigerian government and the National Assembly to immediately reverse the budget cuts to education and healthcare.
It cut the health budget to N25.5bn from N44.4bn and the UBE budget to N51.1bn from the reduced N111.7bn. SERAP noted that alternative policies and measures, such as reducing the costs of governance, including the excessive allowances for high-ranking public officials and the lawmakers, would have been a more appropriate solution to addressing budget deficits.
SERAPNigeria It is quiet shameful and ridiculous that we drag ourselves before international organizations to intervene in our misplaced priorities, failed & insincere leadership, corrupt government officials and a manipulated rule of law! AreWeNormal?
That's why this corona virus infection figure is a hoax!

Embezzlement galore...quick, quick get all u can, time is running, a sovereignty is emerging.
They should be ashamed of themselves!🤮 When are Nigerians going to get woke and DEMAND better from govt?! Remember BlackLivesMatter and the oppressors in Nigeria are the unethical policitians. N27b for a building?! When was the last time they ADDED N27b to the edu budget?😡
Why wont they agree.. stupid sets of people
My heart aches any time I realize Buhari will be president till 2023 😔
UN pls come to our rescue.
This country is for politicians to enjoy. They'll start the sharing cos 2023 is what's on their mind and table. Education and health is for wananchi. Politicians' interests matter most. Once they're comfortable, everyone else is. Y'know, they rep u. Nonentity
Both the executive and legislature are highly irresponsible and insensitive to the needs and yelling of the people. Shame on them.
Am highly disappointed at d decision of d NAss, wen NAss knows dat d country is in a state of novel disease and dey r still courting d health sector budgetary allowance, why now why now.
Shameless administration in the history of that hellish country called Nigeria Jesus Christ
All I wanna say is they🎵 don't really care 'bout us🎶

Let them buy data plan and use zoom from home. They’re not kuku doing anything
How I wish UN can do something about it. Clueless President!
Extremely painful. Why can a government be almost always against what the people want and need but rather consistently dedicated to party interests only.

Useless and clueless leaders
One thing about Nigeria is that everyday new cases like Covid-19.
See can't see the need for a better health, educational sector right? Hope the NASS will be able to safe your ass during the raining days. Corona was just a prelude.
Surely they can't cut their luxuries for a better nation. Opportunists helm of affairs. We have got no true leader in there

After borrowing money and receiving aids from China, Germany, IMF, EU and other countries, they cut important budget to renovate stupid house. Thieves. I will not be from Nigeria in my next life. And if I appear in this country, I will commit suicide. Let me survive this life
You want to cut budget on the two major sectors in the economy but you are willing to spend a whopping sum of 27bn on NASS renovation,the roofs on nass are not leaking,the condition is not as bad as that of our schools and hospitals yet you still want to cut budget on the two?
Please my people help me to find justiceforIfuanaya, he was beaten to death by DPO EYOH in Warri Delta State around 20/7/18. Up till now is still in Mortuary, please Retweet to help me find justice for my brother 💔
