MDGs: Ministry blamed for projects’ delay
The Ministry of Finance has been blamed for the delay in the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals’ project (MDGs).
According to the Chairman, House Committee on MDGs, Ado Doguwa, the late release of funds by the ministry is the major hurdle on the way of attaining the goals.
Doguwa described the Ministry of Finance as epileptic when it comes to the release of funds.
Also, in order to ensure effective implementation of post-2015 MDGs development agenda, stakeholders suggested the need for alternative sources of revenue generation.
Doguwa who spoke in Abuja during the launch of the Nigerian MDGs Information System (NMIS) said: “I want to lament that some of the institutions, especially the Finance Ministry have to wake up in the releases of funds. They must release funds timely because without funds, the MDGs will not be achieved. We have finished our appropriation and filed everything to them but when it comes to releasing funds they have been very epileptic. Our problem is late release of funds.
“They have to release funds on time as far as MDGs is concerned. They should be given funds expressly just like ministry of health. The health care sector is one of the institutions that undertake some of our Programme. And at the end of every appropriation that agency is given its own funds off front. On the first day of January of every new year National Health care centre takes the MDGs intervention. This is what we want to apply in every sector of our own intervention programmes.
