The Centre for Democracy and Development , has raised concerns over the federal government’s revised budget proposal.
In a statement, the CDD called on the Nigerian government to correct what it termed “an egregious mistake” by prioritizing the health sector, following the exposure of the sector by the Coronavirus pandemic. but unbelievably, the federal government left N9 billion for renovating the National Assembly and the N2 billion mapped out for the construction of the National Assembly Library untouched.
CDD insisted that slashing the health budget suggested that the Nigerian government was disconnected from the plight of citizens.CDD added: “The Nigerian government’s actions suggest that it is woefully disconnected from the plight of the people it was elected to serve. Even as other governments take steps to shore up confidence in their commitment to protecting their people, the Nigerian government has signalled an unwillingness to sacrifice its parochial interests.
