Tracka, BudgIT’s service delivery promotion platform, which allows citizens to collaborate, track, and give feedback on public projects in their communities, has discovered N732.5 billion worth of empowerment projects in the 2024 federal government capital and constituency projects, an amount higher than the N646.5 billion allocated to health projects.
According to a statement from the organisation, despite the 2023 record of Nigeria having the second-highest child mortality rate in the world, the government “has shown no signs of tackling these critical emergencies head-on, as the allocations in the 2024 budget do not reflect priority in the health sector.”
