Overview

The document is the 2016 Third Quarter Budget Implementation Report for Nigeria, presenting detailed information on the distribution of public resources. It is mandated by Sections 30 and 50 of the Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007, and serves to hold Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) accountable. The 2016 Budget, themed 'Budget of Change', is the first full-year spending plan of the administration, aiming to stimulate the economy, create jobs, and support vulnerable segments amid declining crude oil prices and output. The report highlights challenges in the third quarter due to drastically lower revenue from oil and non-oil sources than anticipated. It emphasizes budget monitoring and evaluation, with strengthened departments to ensure compliance. The report is a product of collaboration between the Budget Office of the Federation, the National Monitoring and Evaluation Department, and MDAs, with recognition of the National Assembly's Joint Finance Committee and the Fiscal Responsibility Commission.
