Overview

The document is the 2011 Fourth Quarter and Consolidated Budget Implementation Report for Nigeria. It includes a foreword by Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Honourable Minister of Finance, highlighting the mandate under Sections 30 and 50 of the Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007 to submit quarterly and consolidated reports to the National Assembly's Joint Finance Committee and the Fiscal Responsibility Commission. The preface by Dr. Bright Okogu, Director General of the Budget Office, notes that resources were allocated to achieve Nigeria Vision 20:2020 and the Transformation Agenda. Challenges included late budget passage, a political transition year, new Cabinet formation, and lower-than-projected revenues. While recurrent expenditure met targets, capital budget implementation was extended to 31 March 2012 due to poor project management by MDAs. The report aims to improve transparency and accountability in public finance management.
