FG reveals plan to sell government-owned properties to fund 2021 budget

The Federal Government has reportedly said in addition to borrowing locally and internationally, some government-owned properties will be sold to fund the 2021 budget shortfall of N5.2 trillion.

The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, who made this known in Abuja, also revealed the federal government will sell some non-oil assets to serve as additional source of finance for the year’s budget.
