President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday in Abuja issued stern warning to agencies of government saddled with generating revenue generation to work hard to meet their targets.

The President issued the warning after he signed the Thirteen-Point- Five- Eight-Eight trillion Naira (N13.588 trillion) 2021 Appropriation Bill and the 2020 Finance Bill into law.

“We are intensifying our domestic revenue mobilization efforts so that we can have adequate resources to fund the 2021 Budget.  Revenue Generating Agencies, and indeed all Ministries, Departments and Government-Owned Enterprises, must work very hard to achieve their revenue targets, control their cost-to-revenue ratios, as well as ensure prompt and full remittance of revenue collections.

“Relevant Agencies are to ensure the realization of our crude oil production and export targets.  Heads of defaulting Agencies are hereby warned that they will be severely sanctioned.  I also appeal to our fellow citizens and the business community, at large, to fulfil their tax obligations promptly,” said the President.

President Buhari expressed his delight that despite disruptions occasioned by the Coronavirus pandemic, 2020 Budget implementation passed previous thresholds.

“In spite of the adverse impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on the nation’s economy and the Government’s revenues, we have made appreciable progress in the implementation of the 2020 Budget.  As at December 2020, we had released about One-point-Seven-Four-Eight Trillion Naira (N1.748 trillion) out of a total of the One-Point-Nine-Six-Two Trillion Naira (N1.962 trillion) voted for the implementation of critical capital projects, representing a performance of about Eight-Nine-Point-One Percent (89.1%).

“The overall performance of the 2020 Budget currently stands at an impressive rate of Ninety-Seven-point-Seven Percent (97.7%).  This commendable outcome underscores the importance of our efforts, together with the Legislature, to return to the discipline of a January-to-December fiscal year.  The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning will provide further details on the 2020 Budget’s performance, in due course,” he said.

The President commended the National Assembly for completing “the important appropriation process in good time,” adding that “the passage of the 2021 Federal Budget before the commencement of the 2021 fiscal year is in confirmation of our resolve to maintain a predictable January-December fiscal year, as provided for in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Reproduced below is the full text of the President’s speech.

It’s always interesting to see just how many promos you can pick up on a sweepstakes app. Not only will you get welcome offers for downloading the app, but you could pick up free coins for doing anything from logging in to your account every day to getting a friend to sign up to the sweeps casino. Real money online casinos are only legal in a handful of US states. However, residents in most other states can still experience authentic casino games online by choosing to sign up to social and sweepstakes casinos. These are free to play at and operate under US sweepstakes laws which makes it possible for them to provide free sweeps coins to players that can be wagered and then exchanged or redeemed for merchandise and real money prizes. But don’t think for a second that the lighthearted nature of Invaders from the Planet Moolah® means that it is not a focused, bonus-packed slot. The game is full of surprises and rewards, keeping players on their toes the whole time. The game is also wrapped in beautiful graphics and animation, giving it an extra layer of entertainment.
