“It is very unfortunate that the budget office and the Auditor General office could hold the whole country to ransom without caution from any quarter. It is high time the presidency and the lawmakers address the rot that is bedeviling the budget office. Spending our common patrimony on white elephant projects is becoming unbearable and an end must come to it. This explained why substantial increase in the revenue flowing into the government coffers has not translated into substantial development. Nigeria is ranked 142 out of 169 poorest countries in the world due to abject poverty ravaging the nation despite being bestowed with human and capital resources. Her citizens are suffering from administrative neglect, crumbling social infrastructure and services, high unemployment, social deprivation and endemic conflict. Nigerians are frustrated that they cannot legitimately benefit from the revenues government often makes declaration of. It is very ridiculous that some people could fritter away such huge amount from the nation’s coffers without any improvement on the standard of living of the Nigerian masses,” Adeniran stated.
