CAPITAL BUDGET PULLOUT ON EDUCATION IN SOKOTO STATE FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2021

Center for Social Justice — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 14:24:15 +0000

In the spirit of the vision of the Centre for Social Justice, of a Nigeria where social justice informs public decision making and guarantees respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, we present the Sokoto State 2021 Education Capital Budget Pull-Out. This has been our tradition in so many states where we work to provide capital budget information to all Nigerians. The Pull-Out provides information on all education projects, amount allocated and their location.

The Declaration on the Right to Development states that the human person is the central subject of development and should be an active participant and beneficiary of the right to development. As such, Nigerians have individual and collective responsibilities to follow the money and track developments in the implementation of capital votes meant for their benefit. It is a duty we cannot afford to evade. This brings to the fore the need for vigilance, monitoring, tracking and exercising civil society oversight over the implementation of capital projects in the budget. It is our expectation that non-governmental organizations, community based organizations, faith based organizations, professionals, youths, women’s groups, political parties and activists, etc. should take interest, monitor and report on how capital votes are spent.

This Pull Out presents an opportunity for action; to follow the money, ask questions about project implementation; contact your representatives in the State House of Assembly; ask questions from Ministry officials and contractors about projects located in your vicinity that seek to improve your welfare, etc.

CAPITAL BUDGET PULLOUT ON EDUCATION IN SOKOTO STATE FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2023

Center for Social Justice — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 14:20:54 +0000

The budget is a legal instrument for the delivery of government’s intentions to its people. The budget document, and by extension the annual audit report of government, are really ‘the people’s documents. They are meant to provide a binding statement of intent and an accountability instrument to citizens of government’s stewardship.

Often though, these documents are long, convoluted and complicated to understand. They do not lend themselves easily to lay readers. It is imperative though that citizens have access to this information in a clear and intelligible manner. This will increase understanding, promote engagement, encourage greater citizen monitoring, and provide information that engenders informed and incisive questioning – all aimed at improving

the budget process and budget performance. This will in turn improve government performance, increase effective service delivery, and strengthen the trust between citizens and the state that deepen our democratic process and entrench accountable governance processes.

A key component of the budget is the Capital Budget – which provides the resources to achieve key existing, on-going as well as new projects. Through a greater understanding of this, citizens are better able to see how government’s resources are being deployed, advocate for the completion of abandoned capital projects and support the process of avoiding duplication, as well as connect with the tangible efforts of government to deliver services.

We strongly recommend this 2023 Education Capital Budget Pull-Out as a key reader for the range of interested actors at local and state levels who wish to engage responsibly in the budget.

This is a review of the investment in the Sokoto state education sector. This sector has two major ministries, the Ministry of basic and Secondary Education which caters for basic and post-basic education and the Ministry of Higher Education which oversees tertiary education in universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.
