2016 Budget: Implementation, Moving from Plan to Action

Following passage of the 2016 budget, and its signing into law by @NGRPresident, the focus has shifted to Implementation. To this end a Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) has been put together by the Ministry of Budget & National Planning, & the Economic Management Team under the leadership of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

The Strategic Implementation Plan is a compendium of high-level interventions the FG will initiate/complete this fiscal year. The SIP assembles
