Written by Gbola Subair, Abuja<\/span> Monday, 30 May 2011<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Federal Government released N963billion capital votes to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the first quarter of 2011.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Outgoing Minister of Finance, Mr Olusegun Aganga, disclosed this at the signing of the Sovereign Wealth Fund Bill and the 2011 Appropriation Act by President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja<\/p>\n

According to him, as of March 31, 2011, N963 billion had been released for capital projects, of which N956 billion was cash-backed and N936 billion had been utilised by the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) resulting in a utilisation rate of 97.86 per cent.<\/p>\n

Disclosing that this was the highest amount ever to be implemented in a 15-month period, the minister said in the previous year, N919 billion was implemented.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis indicates that we must be careful and realistic in the preparation of the capital budget given the implications for macroeconomic stability. We want a realistic implementable budget, especially as we are also looking at PPP as an option,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Aganga said the Federal Government\u2019s priority continued to be the completion of ongoing capital projects in addition to enhancing the quality and efficiency of spending.<\/p>\n

For the 2011 budget, the minister said government had asked the MDAs to provide deliverables as part of the move to a full Performance Based Budgeting to ensure a shift from simple resource commitments to the MDAs towards actual execution, delivery and performance.<\/p>\n

Speaking further, he said the Federal Government would focus on achieving better capital efficiency through monitoring of MDA\u2019s deliverables and quarterly reporting on progress with capital projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
