Good morning and welcome, once again, to the 'PMB Administration Scorecard Series (2015-2023)'. This is the sixth edition of the series that we launched in October to showcase the numerous achievements of the Buhari Administration.
On Monday, we hosted the Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. Before him, we hosted the Honourable Ministers of Works and Housing; Transportation, Aviation as well as Interior.
Looking ahead, we will have presentations from the Ministers of Water Resources on Dec. 5th; Mines and Steel Development on Dec. 8th;
Power on Dec. 13th; Police Affairs on Dec. 15th; Women Affairs on Dec. 19th; Youth and Sports Development on Dec. 20th and Education on Dec. 22nd.
Power on Dec. 13th; Police Affairs on Dec. 15th; Women Affairs on Dec. 19th; Youth and Sports Development on Dec. 20th and Education on Dec. 22nd.
Today, however, we are hosting the Honourable Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning.
This promises to be another interesting session, especially because the Ministry we are hosting today channels the funds for the implementation of the various programmes and projects that we have been showcasing.
Honourable Minister, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, I make bold to say that no Administration, since the beginning of the current political dispensation in 1999, has done more than the Buhari Administration in supporting states with all sorts of financial interventions.
When the Administration assumed office in 2015, at least 27 states could not pay salaries. Imagine what would have happened if Mr. President had not offered a helping hand, without discrimination, to the states?
But for Mr. President, most of the states would have been plunged into serious socio-economic crisis,
with dire consequences for the country.
with dire consequences for the country.
Please note that the support to the states came at a time when national resources had dwindled drastically, and also at a time of competing needs in many areas, including infrastructure, security, global pandemic, etc.
You will better understand the enormity and importance of the support offered to the states by the Buhari Administration, after today's presentation.
It is therefore my pleasure to invite the Honourable Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning to make her presentation. After that, we will take questions from the gentlemen of the press.
Honourable Minister Please!
Honourable Minister Please!
