Expert Charges FG On Budget Implementation

An expert in Banking
and Finance, Mr. Benedict Idowu has called on the Federal Government  to ensure the full implementation of its budget for transparency and public accountability.
Idowu made the call in a chat  with The Tide in Port Harcourt on Friday.
According to him,  with the passage of the budget, the government  should  strive in ensuring that the  budget was implemented to the later, inorder  to justify the change  mantra and fight  against corruption.
The former bank executive noted  that with full implementation, there would be infrastructural development in all sectors, adding that despite the  dwindling economy, Nigeria is a rich country that with its resources when managed  appropriately, would keep the country afloat.
He said the government should provide a platform  for people to brainstorm with all relevant stakeholders and key players on how to  move the country’s economy forward.
The expert  further  noted that with public participation on the implementation of the budget, transparency in governance would come to play while every allocation utilized to the later.
Idowu also reiterated that all hands must be on deck in solving the  problems of the country, and not to chase people under the guise of fighting corruption, noting that Nigerians are yet to see the change mantra of the present administration.
He enjoined the government to ensure it understood the problems of Nigeria before its solution, rather than perceived political witch-hunt, stressing that urgent steps should be taken on the budget implementation.
