Edun stated this while giving an overview on the expected 2025 budget proposal and the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper before the House of Representatives Joint Committee on Finance and National Planning and Economic Development on Monday.

He said, going by the projection on increased revenue in 2025, as well as other measures adopted, the country was moving away from factors that hitherto impacted negatively on the nation’s economy.

“We do have market pricing and foreign exchange. That has resulted in a situation whereby upwards of 5% of GDP has been lost to plurality of factors benefiting just a few and created long-sighted incentives against growth and investment.

“The deficit of that increase which we hope to achieve less, but right now, we are assuming is about N9.3 trillion in new borrowings and the debt service of about N2 trillion naira.

“In a nutshell, that backdrop gives you the optimism that the 2025 budget estimates, particularly the one on revenue, will be achieved and the economy will be strong. It will fast up to an inclusive and sustainable growth,” the minister assured.

The Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Finance, Hon. James Faleke (APC, Lagos) said the joint panel was looking at the revenue performances of the MDAs as regards to the 2024 budget, as the 2025 proposed money bill is about to commence in January.

He said, “We are now in December. By now, the agencies should be able to provide to us with what revenue we have generated between last year and November. At least for 11 months, we should be able to have that. We are just interested in what revenue we are able to get.

“Apart from that, we also want to see the expenditures as it works. Apart from those who have some levels of percentage collection. We are interested in whether agencies are able to do that”.

The committee also directed the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Dr Abubakar Dantsoho to appear before it on Tuesday, December 10th, 2024 unfailingly.

The panel issued the directive when it turned back Dantsoho’s representative, Sabiu Musa Danbatta who told lawmakers that the MD/CEO was on a special assignment and could not attend the session.
