President Muhammadu Buhari has promised Nigerians that the 2021 budget will be fully implemented, with all transparency and openness in meeting the targets.
He made this vow in a statement signed by Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity.
According to Shehu, Buhari gave the assurance in Daura, Katsina State, after participating in the registration and revalidation exercise of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“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 fertiliser in the country.
”We have 42 companies producing fertiliser in six Geo-Political Zones.’’
