Allocating our scarce resources to high-priority areas of need is essential for the well-being of the nation,\u201d Obi stated.<\/p>\n<p>Obi voiced his grievances with several specific allocations in the budget.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllocating N15 billion solely for the National Assembly hospital is unacceptable, especially when it exceeds five times the budgetary allocation to The National Hospital or the combined capital vote of our six major teaching hospitals across the nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He further listed the teaching hospitals including University College Hospital, Ibadan; University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu; Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria; Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife; Jos University Teaching Hospital and University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis disparity reflects a low level of care for the rest of society,\u201d Obi asserted.<\/p>\n<p>He also criticised the N15.3 billion allocation for the National Assembly library project and procurement of books, including the e-Library.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe National Library has been under construction for the past 20 years, and its budgetary allocation for 2024 is less than 1B Naira, which makes the National Assembly Library budget 15 times more,\u201d Obi wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Obi further expressed concern over the allocation of N10 billion for the Senate and House of Representatives\u2019 car parks and the National Assembly Recreation Centre while allocating less to the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cAllocating N10 billion for the Senate and House of Representatives\u2019 car parks and the National Assembly Recreation Centre, while allocating less to the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation, is concerning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn an era where science, technology and innovation are crucial for the nation\u2019s future, such allocations demonstrate a lack of foresight and basic awareness of global trends and urgent national priorities,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Obi, therefore called for a reassessment of priorities, a revisiting of the budget, and the elimination of frivolous expenditures<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He said the budget is awash with inconsequential items and allocations that have little or no positive impact on the citizens The 2023 Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, says Nigeria can&#8217;t pull itself out of the doldrums and quagmire it&#8217;s currently enmeshed in with the make-up of the 2024 budget.
