The Federal Government has notified professional bodies and councils that it would cease to fund them beginning from the 2024 budget.
The real issue is that core ministries are not doing their work of reviewing trends and planning for future needs, while there is a mad rush to create new institutions and place them on government budget. Meanwhile, government has lost the capacity to pay for these new agencies and dwindling revenues are being spread so thinly that most agencies are actually not able to deliver on their mandates because government simply does not have the funds to enable them do their work.
This issue is one of the clear illustrations of the crumbling capacity of the state to govern. Government is simply incapable of doing what it sets out to do. The report was so comprehensive and clear that the Jonathan administration did not need two years to produce a White paper, which simply outlines what aspects of the report were accepted for implementation and how this would be carried out.
Also included are the National Food Reserve Agency Bill, 2019; Police Academy Bill, 2019; North Central Development Commission Bill, 2019; and South West Development Commission Bill, 2019.
