Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, on Tuesday continued consultations on the draft 2018 – 2020 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) with a session with the leadership and heads of relevant committees of the National Assembly.

According to a statement by the minister’s media adviser, Akpandem James, the meeting which is in keeping with the determination of the Executive to carry the National Assembly along on critical matters of governance, held at one of the Senate committee rooms.

He discussed the scenarios of the Medium Term Fiscal Framework for the next three years.

Senator Udoma was at the session with the Minister of State, Mrs Zainab Ahmed and Director General of the Budget Office, Mr. Ben Akabueze while the National Assembly team was led by the Senate leader, Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan.

Other members of the National Assembly at the session were the House of Representatives Majority Leader, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, Chairmen of both the Senate and House Committees on Finance and Deputy Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriation.

Consultations on the draft MTEF began on Thursday last week when the minister briefed state governors at the National Economic Council meeting on the key assumptions and macro-economic framework.

At the meeting, he explained the basis for the projections for oil production levels, oil price benchmark, exchange rate, inflation rate, GDP growth rate, nominal GDP and nominal consumption rate, among others.

He said similar consultations are to be held subsequently with civil society organisations (CSOs), private sector operators (PSO), development partners and the media.

The MTEF outlines Federal Government’s fiscal policies and macro-economic projections for 2018 – 2020 and broad framework for annual budget and fiscal management in line with the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA) 2007.

The Borno State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) on Saturday said it spent over N2 billion distributing food items and condiments to IDPs in the last four years. SEMA’s chairman, Alhaji Satomi Ahmad, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri. Ahmad said that the amount went into procurement and distribution of foodstuffs, firewood, drugs and condiments to persons displaced by Boko Haram insurgency in the state. He said that the gesture was to augment the Federal Government and development agencies’ efforts to support the displaced persons and address humanitarian crisis. “Previously, the agency spent about N20 million on procurement and distribution of firewood alone to displaced households in the camps and liberated communities. “The trend resulted in unprecedented upsurge in the demand and supply of firewood in the state. “This also naturally resulted in depletion of forest resources and destruction of the environment which left us with no options than to start using charcoal,” he said. Satomi said the choice of charcoal came with high cost as the initial funds for firewood went up astronomically. The chairman said the agency had also concluded arrangements to de-worm and immunise all children in IDPs camps and liberated communities. He said that the exercise was designed to protect children against diseases, reduce morbidity and mortality. According to him, the agency had deployed nine mobile clinics to enhance rapid response and disaster management services in the state.
