A budget proposal of ₦921.9 billion has been earmarked by the federal government to fight the menace of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, Niger Delta militants and other miscreants who have been terrorising many parts of the country.
President Goodluck Jonathan, on Tuesday, made this revelation while presenting the total budget of N4.749 trillion before a joint session of the National Assembly.
He said security has to take the lion share out of the total budget because of “the threat of Boko Haram, Niger Delta militants and increasing spate of insecurity and wanton destruction of lives and property by criminal which are on the rise.” He said the government would spend the amount to ensure the safety of security of lives and property.
