On the expenditure side, the executive is proposing a reduction of about N321bn in spending from the initial estimate of N10.59tn to N10.27tn. For the North-East Development Commission, analysis of the revised budget proposal showed that the commission suffered a N24.03bn reduction in its allocation.

Hhhhhhh That is Nigeria under buhari

A government without, vision, mission and agenda....what do you expect.

Uncle_sidney As if they are implementing the budget before 😂 awon Oloriburuku

This is no brainer, how can health suffer in this condition

Health budget cut down? at this critical time...This is just a prove that we don't value life in Nigeria.... But we have more in social fund where the almagiri in northern part benefited... They even cut education because it has no meaning to them. ..bastards

Now that we have a crisis in the health sector is the right time to reduce the budget of the health ministry. I am not getting it

Really!

Suffer? Health and education should never be sacrificed.

Health budget cut. Chai

Ministry of information and culture will not suffer oh. AsoRock will not suffer All those many useless ministries won't suffer ItS education and health !!!!!

BrosManney It's high time for Niger Delta to agitate for referendum and exit Nigeria for good.

BrosManney 2023 please come fast. Tired already. Very usless government. Health and education hmmmm where is my passport.

Health? Education? This signals a descent to the abyss.

A country without a president

Ahh!!! Asuu go finish us😭😭😭😭😭

ASUU is on strike, ASUP is kicking, NMA and several health unions are protesting, YET this!

Please don't touch education. It's being underfunded already.

Please don't touch education. It's been underfunded already.

Yet another mistake that’d hurt our future! Why should it be health and education?

Is this caption correct or sarcasm at play?

What? Are we really learning anything? SMH!

Min of fin, Pls why should health, education and N-D suffer and not bogus 'Recurrent expenditure, frivolous spending suffer God go judge all of una

Saka maaje...scam😁😁😁

Those are the part of the budget that do not concern the north, look at Kaduna Covid-19 unit just like a place where you can go and get the virus brand new. Education dey like almajiri and Niger delta what can a righteous do. I see a revolution truly and truly on its way. Freedom

Is this woman a minister or a bringer of bad news?

N d N500b u pay to invisible citizens shudcremain in d budget. U can’t cut dt by 50% knowing u aren’t paying people but pocketing d money?issorite.

Health sector budget shouldn't be touch with the level we are in Nigeria today, the vehicles budget, National Assembly budget and other one can be reduced to its minimum, if 13 billions was spent in state house clinic what will N17.98 billions do for the entire country. Fear God

Nigeria constantly has priority misplacement. They act as non intellectual ppl. 😠😠

Nothing news about reduction in cost of governance. One day you politicians won't have nothing left to squeeze.

I think our leaders have gotten to ur necks. It high time we (the youths) revolted. These people are ruining our future

Nigeria is tiring, no matter the small hope you develop that things might get better, that hope will be dashed by our government incompetence. Health and education... Really?

Hmmmm this woman Issoright

Aso rock villa and senators allowance will enjoy increments. Nonsense govt

All this money where dem Dey Go

It’s God that will punish you people,And our politicians will now enjoy salary increase

But Salaries and Allowance of the Executive and Legislature won't?

I wonder when we will get it right as a nation. The slash in the national budget is indeed an indicator of how this gvt has attached little or zero consequence to Education and Health as a sectors. It is sardonic We kept expending huge resources on trivial things... Too bad

The N37 Billion budgeted for renovation of National Assembly building was not affected, but they cut budget for health and education. Jokers

Even health will have budget cut but constituency projects by senators & Reps is not having any budget cut. Clap for yourself

This people are durlard HEALTH upon everything happening... HEALTH!!!

Why? 😭😭😭😭😭..... Seriously though... Are these sectors not suffering enough already?

When there enough money from oil, you will gladly allocate more money to the north and there is shortage of money from oil, you first rush to cut Niger Delta budget. Where is equity?

Nepotism everywhere you go like MTN.

Is this government stupid or what Why not those of NASS, Aso Rock and those Stupid Overheads slashed There's no hope for this country like seriously!

Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see any cut from Health in this report. A bit confusing and outrightly counterintuitive to cut Health budget at a time of major health emergency.

Cutting budget for health at a time when we are faced with the deadliest disease the world has ever known is insensitive. Similarly, slashing NDDC budget is wreckless, NDDC being the nation's cash cow. Why isn't the budget for Aso Rock clinic touched?

Is it not the health and education that we are already managing?. Make una kuku close hospitals and schools. You guys have learnt nothing from this Covid19 saga.

Have they not been suffering before?

Niger brings the wealth in which the nation's budget is benchmarked with. Any reason why they shouldn't ask for referendum to exit Nigeria?

Why always Health and education

Health kwa! Same health...

But your outrageous ALLOWANCES won't get a cut, right?

Health again? Ah, ain't we jokers in this country called Nigeria?

I wonder the kind of human beings leading us. Can't you guys ever sacrifice for once for the people of Nigeria? Must you cut the budget on health, education, agriculture etc? What if you guys cut your outrageous allowances and expenses for all strata of govt won't it be better?

Why's that his health, education and Niger-Delta that will suffer not presidency, national representatives, House of Senate and ministries? This is to show the kind of unfortunate leaders we have in Nigeria. Our unfortunate leaders are heartless.

This have just confirmed that this government is clueless... ....how can a developing nation always makes Health and Education it first line of casualty in any challenge, making the sectors victims and perpetual cry babies.

If only the youth of this country rise up ... at this rate what will be the fate of our kids

Pipeline bombing LOADING...

So you people don't see the need to reduce salaries and allowances of lawmakers and political appointees...

The outbreak of the novel Corona virus 19 have exposed the poor state of our health care. Now you want to cut down budget on health....what happened to the NTA digitalisation and NASS renovation? As if that wasn't enough, you picked out Niger Delta to suffer.atiku come and see o

But they have billions to share to Almajiri

Health care Selfish and greedy leaders don't receive treatments here in Nigeria,excluding (Corona virus) Education Buhari's daughter recently graduated from a school abroad,which means they care less about Education in Nig Niger Delta They don't care if pipes are busted..

What is the future of Nigeria as a nation? lockdownextension LockdownExtended Buhari COVIDー19 coronavirus ToyinAbraham

What re your reasons? You people ve destroyed Nigeria Health and Education sectors. Did you think making of good sense to your urself, the country n world at large, the budget shouldn’t be slashed for these sectors to flourish.

Oh my God! Who did we offend that Cant's forgive us hmm

Am I the only one that saw 551million for generator? And 15million for gaming?

Have these people not learnt any lessons yet with this covid-19 pandemic? They should be planning on how to improve our health and educational sector instead they’re planning to cut them off the more? What the actual fuck do these people see us as?

Why health ? Why not NASS BUDGET

Education and health sector is the bed lock of every Nation, why but the other govt spending

It is glaring that they don't value or care on the important things that truly matter. Continue oo, keep on cutting and diverting the funds to trivial and frivolous things. That why the president, governor's and co. will keep flying out for medical check-up while the system dies.

Cutting the health budget ?

Why HEALTH AND EDUCATION? I can bear Niger Delta but now that SGF has shamefully come out to testify that our health system is terrible. Education must not be cut down at all. What are u planning to turn this country to?

We have two major sectors that are in a state of jeopardy in Nigeria and they are the health and education sector. And of all the sector to receive a budget cut, it's these two. Does it mean our leaders are insensitive or they do not want to help Nigeria and Nigerians? My thought

Hypocrites

If this is true it is truly, insensitive and ridiculous. The NDDC budget should not be touched as they are self-revenue generating and the region is a major source of revenue for Nigeria. The national assembly renovation budget should be scrapped. Health cannot be touched.

Hahahahaha!!!!

See these selfish and wicked leaders. They don't care about these vital sectors here because they can easily access them outside the country. What about the masses in need of these sectors? Well, all we do is lament on social media. Why won't they keep oppressing us.

If this government is not as useless as a toilet paper, how can they cut health budget amidst of the weak health system. The SGF just said he didn't know the health system was in a deplorable state. The same government is cutting the budget. When are we going to get sense?

Niger-Delta should hold their leaders accountable.

The two major things that hold humanity strong should suffer while irrelevant things remain. Who swear for us like this? 🤔🤔🤨🤨

Don’t touch my money..

Health that is in coma before, why not NASS instead.

What happens to the over 150bn budgeted for the National Assembly?

Why not the National Assembly budget? Health and Education are two ministries that should be fully funded no matter the situation. How do these people think for God sake!

This is absolute bullshit. What corruption is PMB fighting?

Set awon mad geng

How come na we get oil take your time

BUNCH of JOKERS! RESTRUCTURING will end this Mess.

Health and education system has nothing to write about here 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Who be this clown wey dem put as minister for finance.... It's obvious she doesn't know jack about anything. Lifeless

This is terrible

Politicians don't care because their decisions affect only the poor masses. They haven't learnt any lesson from the covid 19 Pandemic.

Non of you will tackle federal government o. when Asuu start werey now you start name calling. in a budget where you have education less than 12% and u cushion it with less than 50-75 billions. In this money primary, secondary and tertiary schools are all involved. OKAY O

Health and Education to 'Suffer'? When are we going to get things right in this country for once?

How would you be cutting health budget in the time of a pandemic where other countries are trying to increase health budget

Why not make the cut from the budget of the legislatures and executives

U this aboki woman God will purnishe u people so when it is time to give East and South money the building was set ablaze on fire all of u in that North that don't want peace in this country Coronaviru will locate u people in Jesus name amen

With the present health situation in the world, health will still suffer a cut!!!!

Why cut budget for the most important sectors right now? 🤦

There was a country!!!!

Health? Is this government alright at all. At this time, you need to put all the legislative budget and run of government budget on health. We are at very critical stage now.

Why?

When I saw health there I gave up on this government. Lol

Not security, bcos they are fighting Boko Haram they never conquered...Awon asinwin

Health,education and Niger Delta to suffer budget cut. What about northern states?

This coronavirus exposed the poor state of our health system and instead of increasing its budget MBuhari is reducing it. Is this how we are going to beat this pandemic.

This government is very insensitive to basic needs why on earth must they take money from education and health budgets?

This is totally nonsense... Why education and health sector to suffer this country is scam

Why health and education? At this point in time I believe nobody should tamper with this two important ministry.

Health to Suffer a budget cut right now? This is insane.

Not NASS or FEC? Not Presidency? Not immigration, police, aviation, port? Not these but education, health? Our government officials are dumb and they have no one to tell them!

Who do we report these people to? They are freaking annoying every single day

Why education?

How can i enter into politics without going to school so i can be controlling and chopping this money too...?

Fulanigeria

NASS thieves no cuts, Unproductive north East no cuts. Alhamajeri feeding no cuts. But the Niger delta that produces the wealth will suffer huge costs. Nigeria we hail thee

So, despite all these covid-19 stuffs Health will still get a budget cut

The wealth of the Nation is from Niger Delta, yet we suffer more from this gud for nothing govt, Northeastern states enjoy the wealth coming from South. Time shall tell, make una continue.

This is madness

Why only Niger delta

Why is it that health and education have to suffer N321bn budget cut, why not presidency, National Representative and House of Senate? Fmohnigeria MBuhari ProfOsinbajo DrAhmadLawan femigbaja SaharaReporters

Useless country.

why cutting HEALTH budget in this time of coronavirus that many nation is budgeting more for Health, even Education needs to improve in Nig

Its not like the budget for Health is much, why cut down its budget when we are in health crises.

Why the cuts to education, health and research? Clearly how valuable these are should be evident now given the ongoing pandemic.

There is need to cut expenses this time and it’s understandable.This is a time to consider allowing states run their economic affairs from the current FG standing on roads to states progress and development. What is FG business in Basic Education when we have LG and state govt?

Why would we cut down on health care now, when it is essential for our survival, can't something else go...

Hahaha I love this country die, health and education can suffer but their own bogus salaries and entitlements can never suffer. Who born am 👍👍👍

Even health

Madness

This woman is now our new president.

When will this COVID19 drama end bayii😤😤😤
