A further analysis shows that about 71% of 2013 Main Ministry budget went for

Capital Expenditure while the remain 29% went for Recurrent Expenditure,

Personnel cost 24% of this 29%.

Clearly, the HQ is investing rightly in projects and this is highly commendable.

However, the effect of these Projects must come to the fore and its impact felt by

the Education Stakeholders.

The NUC receives more allocation than NBTE and NCCE

Allocation to the National Teachers’ Institute is considerably

one of the highest, surpassed only by Universal Basic

Education. This shows that there is concerted interest in the

training of Teachers

Allocation to the National Library of Nigeria is the third

highest, this implies that our schools ought to be equipped

with necessary books. Also, the Liberian Registration

Council of Nigeria is equally well funded, together, these

two receives the second highest allocation. The implication

of this means there supposed to be adequate supply of

books and proper management of information in the

Clearly, the Government is spending a larger percentage of the

Sector’s allocation on Universities, nevertheless this has not brought

much of the required chances. While it is clear that there exist a

funding gap, I posit to say that beside funding other pertinent issues

would need to be looked at, and in the words of former Minister of

Education – Oby Ezekwesili – Education Governance would be the

proper way to go.

The multiplicity of Agencies; where there exist very thin lines between

the works of two Government Agencies is another issue; for instance,

the NUC, NBTE, NCCE, are 3 regulatory bodies in charge of Tertiary

institutions, the Steve Oronsanya report advised government to

merge these 3 Agencies as one body in order for government to

maximize the available resources.

Also, a gap exist between Budget Allocation and Budget

Implementation; a control measure such that each Head of Agency

gives reports on their budget implementation effort will be a crucial

step for proper accountability.
