“FRC, Budget Office to ensure strong economy by 2020”
The budget office
of the federation and the Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC) are
working toward ensuring strong and sustainable economy by 2020.
Bright Okogu,
director general, budget office of the federation, said on Wednesday in
Abuja that recommendations had been made to FRC on what should be done
with Medium Term Expenditure Framework to ensure the attainment of the
goal.
He said the budget office was responsible for the preparation of the annual budget in relation to Vision 20:2020.
“We are to ensure
that all the projects highlighted in the budget are consistent with
what we have in Vision 20:2020 so that available resources are
optimally utilised. This is what we do; and we try to get the National
Planning Commission involved at the stage where the capital projects
are engaged, even at the Medium Term Strategy Sector,’’ Mr. Okogu added.
