More than one week after President Muhammadu Buhari presented the 2017 Budget Bill to a joint session of the National Assembly, details of the documents are yet to be uploaded on the website of the Budget Office of the Federation.
However, Saturday Tribune has been able to access details of the proposal as uploaded by a civil society organisation.
One of the quick highlight of the budget proposal is that the Presidency got a total allocation of N42.9 billion.
And despite official government policy on monetization, most agencies including the Presidency continues to spend government money on renting houses for staff and officials.
For instance, the Presidency is proposing to spend N77.5 million on residential accommodation for its officials.
In the monetization policy, only the President, Vice President, Senate President, his deputy, Speaker of the House, the deputy and judicial officers are entitled to official accommodation.
Also, the Presidency would spend N100.8 million to purchase and rehabilitate canteen/kitchen equipment.
In addition, it will repair some residential buildings for N5.6 billion while rehabilitation and repairs of electricity will gulp N221.6 million.
While giving a breakdown of the estimates at the State House earlier this week, Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma explained that the document would be uploaded on the website where members of the public would be able to get details.
When Saturday Tribune sought explanations from the Spokesperson for the Budget Office Mr. Afolabi Olajuwon, he said that the document was still being cleaned up.
According to him, as soon as the cleanup was effected to correct any errors that might be discovered, it would be uploaded onto the website.
Meanwhile, even as the executive continued to hoard the document, a civil society organisation has already put it on its website.
Our correspondent gathered that the organisation has a working partnership with the National Assembly although this was not verified as at the time of writing this report.
