Abuja, June 17, 2024 (NAN) Prof. Ifure Ifure, Country Representative, Centre for International and Strategy Studies, says the 10th House of Representatives has revolutionised Nigeria’s budgetary process with fresh ideas and innovations.
He said the House replaced the traditional closed-door approach with a transparent open door method after one year in office.
Ifure disclosed this during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja in his appraisal of the 10th House of Representatives after one year in office.
“These days, budget proposals are now subjected to public debates, inputs, and suggestions from members of the public”, he told NAN.
He said that Rep. Kabiru Bichi, Chairman, House Committee on Appropriation and his colleagues mplemented a cutting-edge system that harnessed the power of technology and data analytics to optimise resource allocation.
He further said such innovations in appropriations were well thought out approaches and should be commended.
“I have the privilege of acknowledging a truly remarkable achievement, one that will go down in history as a testament to the power of innovation and leadership.
“Their innovation, which has revolutionised the way our nation allocates resources, is a shining example of what can be achieved when vision, determination and expertise come together“, he said. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
