President Muhammadu Buhari has assured the 2021 Budget would be implemented to the letter.
Buhari who spoke in Daura after the registration and revalidation exercise of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said the budget aptly captured some of the visions of the administration, and all efforts will be poured in to ensure effective implementation.
According to a statement by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity Mallam Garba Shehu, President Buhari said the budget would be implemented with all transparency and openness in meeting the targets.
He, however, appreciated the National Assembly for the effective and detailed attention before the passage.
“We have directed all the Ministries, Departments and Agencies to follow what is in the budget so that we can get the National Assembly to easily support the next budget. We can tell them what we have received, and how it was spent.
“We are always ready to make the balance sheet available for all Nigerians and the National Assembly. We have nothing to hide.’’
Buhari said the administration had given more attention to agriculture in order to diversify and strengthen the economy.
“We are still grateful to Morocco for the support they gave us in producing fertilizer in the country. We have 42 companies producing fertiliser in six geopolitical zones.’’
