@DrJoeAbah replies Remi Adeseun (‏@kojere) QUESTIONS on MTSS and MTEF.

@kojere @bpsr_ng Ministry of Budget and National Planning.

@kojere @bpsr_ng MTSS was National Planning Commission while MTEF was under Finance. Disconnect led to merger of Budget Office with Planning

@kojere @bpsr_ng We canvassed for the merger but announcing a merger is the ONLY easy part. There's still a lot to do to make it work.

— Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) August 16, 2016

@kojere @bpsr_ng Budget was under Finance, so merger with NPC was merger of cultures. Then there are things Finance alone can do, by law.

@kojere @bpsr_ng Like under the Fiscal Responsibility Act, only Finance Minister can prepare the MTEF. No, both Ministers are collaborating.

— Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) August 16, 2016

@kojere @bpsr_ng The MTEF hasn't been prepared yet. Both Ministers working on it. Expenditure should follow plan given Revenue uncertainty.

@kojere @bpsr_ng Operational words being "Draft" and "both Ministers are working together on it."

@kojere @bpsr_ng Glad to be of service Sir.
