The same N40m is equally budgeted for the rehabilitation and repair of office buildings, while the sum of N19.8m is provided for maintenance of office building and residential quarters.
Other sums allocated for maintenance works include N9.9m for maintenance of plants/generators; N27.7m for cleaning/fumigation services; and N59.1m for general maintenance of motor vehicle/transport equipment.

  23. I'm beginning to lose respect for punch and their one sided journalism. Is =N=141m too little, too much or just enough for the said clothing? Is that an amount that is obtainable for similar in other countries? Or is it the case that the clothing can be delivered at a fraction of that price by Iya Sikirat Bodija? What is their point?

  36. This confirms what former Minister of Education, Doctor Oby Ezekwesili said at a seminar I attended, in her words
    "What our government mostly does is Contract Awarding" She also said the national change we have been praying and hoping for will not come if we always have a siddon look attitude, she said its all over to Nigerian youths to fight for their future if they want one. You can see clearly from the budget that money is just being shared for different people for the sake of sharing for their personal pockets

  77. Truth of the matter is those items on the budget that seems irrelevant will be the national cake that will be dished out to the committee in charge(national assembly members) or else the budget won't be approved. Btw, I tot Jona said he has banned foreign training? Well am waiting to hear what will be spent on job creation and youth empowerment.

  88. There is no end to meeting the demands of the Nigerian Medical Association.

    The plight of the Nigerian Law Officer is deteriorating by the day. Now it's the time for all Law Officers to come together and push forward their demands. It is time to stop pretending that all is well. We are been mistreated for too long and now we cannot bear anymore. We work the most dangerous bit towards nation building and have been treated like outcasts. Why should even our brothers in the judiciary earn a different wage from us. We cannot take it anymore. LOAN!!! LOAN!!! LOAN!!! This is the year to get our pay harmonized with the judiciary. We are not asking too much, just put us where we belong, period.
