“Before now, the budget system was what was called an enveloped system. In an envelope system, there is no justification as to why we need N30 billion for a structure.’’
“This year, we decide that every ministry must have a zero based budget. In other word, you must justify and explain why you need N100 billion.
“This is very good system, the soft ware for it was also very different. The personnel were not used to it,’’
“Now, in the process we got to National Assembly. What the ministers do is to have a broad overview of the budget. The template used by the Budget Office is uniform for all ministers.’’
