The N7.3tn budget has a total capital vote of N2.24tn, representing 30.7 per cent of the budget, while the recurrent component stands at N2.98tn with the rest allocated to debt servicing.

According to Punch, a breakdown of the N4.93 billion reveals that the sum of N1.45 billion is budgeted for maintenance and service warranties for all communication intelligence equipment for the DSS, while N340 million is budgeted for the purchase of Trevor assault rifles.

The government is also proposing to purchase handheld direction finder for the DSS at a sum of N97.9m, while the acquisition of antennae forensic solution and the purchase of Orion mines detectors are expected to gulp N648 million and N25 million respectively.
