Seun Onigbinde<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSeun Onigbinde, the co-founder of BudgiT, had received severe backlashes from supporters and non-supporters of the Muhammadu Buhari led government after he was appointed into the ministry of budget and national planning last week.<\/p>\n
However, a few minutes ago, Onigbinde who was appointed as a technical adviser announced his resignation in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\n
See Full statement below<\/h4>\n
Friends,<\/p>\n
Kindly recall that I sent out a note recently on my interest to seek new experiences and that I would be working as a Technical Adviser to the Minister of State for Budget and National Planning for a short period.<\/p>\n
It is clear that recent media reports about my appointment have created a complex narrative, which I believe would engender an atmosphere of mistrust, as I planned to proceed.<\/p>\n
Upon further reflections on the furore that has been generated by my new role as the Technical Adviser to the Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, I humbly resign the appointment.<\/p>\n

I am very grateful to the Honourable Minister, Prince Clem Ikanade Agba, for believing in my expertise and I also thank everyone who sent his or her congratulations to me in the short period. I have also been humbled by the faith and belief that numerous persons have expressed in me.<\/p>\n
My sincere interest is to see a Nigeria that grows and optimises resources for the benefits of all Nigerians.<\/p>\n
My loyalty to the good cause of our nation, Nigeria compelled me to accept the call to provide technical skills and this experience has more than strengthened it.<\/p>\n
I also want to wish the Nigerian Government, led by President Muhammadu Buhari, well. I will always be of help to the federal government in my capacity as the Director of BudgIT, a critical fiscal transparency group, as I have been to several agencies. I would also work to ensure that BudgIT continues to build civic awareness on the right of every Nigerian to know how public resources are managed.<\/p>\n
Thank you all.<\/p>\n
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria<\/p>\n
