The Presidency has come out to assure all that the 2025 budget would address most of the challenges plaguing the nation across all sectors.
This was said by the Special Adviser on Media and Public Communication to President Bola Tinubu, Sunday Dare, during an interview with News Central on Tuesday.
He said there would be efficient implementation of the 2025 budget to support the policies of the President.
Remember that the 2025 budget total sum was ₦49.7 trillion. The budget was benchmarked at crude oil output of 3 million barrels per day.
Dare dismissed issues concerning Nigeria’s debt and proposed loans for the budget, assuring that the loan would be used to deliver benefits to Nigerians.
“Nigerians need not worry. This President will ensure that the loans we use are applied in such a way that it benefits the people.
The President’s spokesman also highlighted allocations for healthcare, education and agriculture in the 2025 budget. He stressed that the President would address the nation’s challenges.
“You look at the health care centers. You look at the money that will be spent to bring in medication, which is costing so much money.
“You look at the money spent on agriculture. Then you begin to see that you have a Bajor proposal that strikes at the heart of the critical things that matter, human capital development, education. This President has said it repeatedly that the only weapon against poverty is education and he has lived through to that vision in this budget with what we have. Seven percent of Nigeria’s budget going to education. The very first time ever,” he added.
