The huge funding gap of the Federal Government occasioned by the crash in crude oil prices would continue this year, the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, has said.

Ahmed said that although the trend might not persist beyond 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic had continued to disrupt economic activities in Nigeria and across the world.

“The lockdowns of 2020 and the associated reduction in economic activities during those periods are expected to bear negatively on companies’ 2021 taxable profits. Ahmed observed that many people were struggling to provide food and other basic needs while a lot of businesses were struggling to keep their employees.

Drawing attention to the need for understanding the rationale behind government policy measures, Ahmed explained that the reasons were better understood within the context of the peculiar economic situation facing the country.

Well, yes it would because NigeriaGov as well as you and your boss MBuhari continue to spend like the prodigal son or today's Yahoo Yahoo - spend foolishly like another largesse would land tomorrow. Fiscal responsibility and human capital development is the way to go

Things will get right in 2023 ..if only the individuals in the executive arm,judiciary arm, legislative arm,the military and the police (especially the military) starts being 'not greedy' , selfless and focus on wanting this country to develop and excel on all grounds..

Incompetent sets of people running the country.

Good morning

One thing I like about this minster than predecessor is that she says the ways not twisting the narratives, though predecessor is more professionally Prudence in spending & know-how also cunning, but successor is bold & straight forwards, though bottomline is economy surpluses?

NigeriaGov has planned to fail in 2021.

A Government that lacks vision is one that chases flies. That is reactive, rather than be visionary and proactive.

Creative thinking for IGR generation is lacking
