If the newspapers are to be believed, and as this newspaper put it recently, “The tension” that led to Mr Edun’s exit from the cabinet “stemmed from widespread complaints about low capital budget releases and slow budget planning by the administration, which has serially disrupted the country’s January-to-December budget cycle.” Apparently, not just have ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) been experiencing funding shortages, and difficulties paying their contractors, but federal lawmakers also “accused Mr Edun of recording ‘zero implementation’ of the 2025 capital budget despite the National Assembly approving a ₦1.15 trillion request to fund capital components”.
