Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Minister of Health and Social and Social Welfare, Prof. Mohammed Ali Pate has revealed that only 15.06 percent of the total allocation was released to the ministry in 2024 for capital projects.<\/p>\n

The minister made this known when he appeared before the House of Representatives Joint Committee on Health to defend the 2025 budget of the ministry.<\/p>\n

He, however, blamed the delay in the release and cash backing of its capital allocation on the bottom-up cash plan policy of the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation.<\/p>\n

According to him, the total budget to the ministry in 2024 stood at N242, 141,830,564.51. Thai consists of N7, 476,463,610 for personnel, N998, 739,547 for overhead and N233, 656,627,407.51 for capital.<\/p>\n

The minister added that the amount was slightly improved on in the 2025 budget estimates to N10,361, 373,890.69 for personnel, N1,590, 382,403 for overhead and N248,316, 907,133 for capital.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that the ministry was yet to receive a single Kobo from the N57.393 billion captured under the multilateral\/bilateral loan for capital projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of the N233.656 billion allocated to the Ministry for capital projects in 2024, only N26. 552 billion had been released to the Ministry and utilised,\u201d Pate lamented.<\/p>\n

He explained further that the policies and strategies of the 2025 budget are derivable from the 2025-2027 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper which outline the development priorities of the government.<\/p>\n

Pate added: \u201cThe year 2025 proposed budget of the ministry was prepared using the budget preparation system on the GIFTS platform which is compatible with the National Development Plan 2021-2025 approach which demand justification and allocation of resources to projects and programmes Inna given year based on needs and aligning with the policy of government, especially as encapsulated in the core objectives and execution priorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Federal Ministry of Health budget proposal for 2025 is based on the National Health Policy 2016 and is guided by the new Strategic Blueprint Initiative which are the health sector policy instruments for achieving the ministerial deliverables of the federal government and the global agenda of universal health coverage.\u201d<\/p>\n
