But for the Federal Government's constraint, ministries, departments and agencies planned to spend N10 trillion on capital projects in the current year, findings revealed.
A source at the Budget Office of the Federation said the MDAs' capital budgets were shutdown by the zero-based budgeting model adopted by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Zero-based budgeting, as against envelope budgeting, is thorough, critical and performance-based. Ongoing projects are critically analysed with each minister justifying why a project needs to be allocated funds to.
The source also noted that the current budgeting was rushed, hence there were many errors that the government later struggled to correct the errors.
According to the source, the missing budget saga was part of the arrangement aimed at correcting the errors that were committed during the budgeting.
