Ovie Omo-Agege, the deputy Senate President.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">According to BudgIT, the timeframe within which the 6,576 capital projects were generated and inserted into the FG budget by legislators raised the need for concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cBudgIT has valid concerns on whether the Project Design Documents (PDD) were created as required by the 2022 Budget Public Investment Guidelines. A poorly designed and costed public sector project is almost destined to fail ab initio and lead to poor value for money for taxpayers,\u201d it added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAlso, the insertions of these 6,576 projects bloated the budgets of different federal ministries, contributing further to a breach of the budget ceiling safeguards announced by the Budget Office of the Federation on August 19, 2021.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While speaking on capital budget padding, Gabriel Okeowo, BudgIT\u2019s country director, said, \u201cSeveral projects do not meet the definition for capital expenditures according to the Fiscal Responsibility Act.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cFor example, N5.6billion allocated to over 150 Meetings, Conferences, and Board Meetings was listed as capital expenditures across different MDAs.
