Capital spending
Projects and things that last: a building, drainage works or equipment. Look for the project’s name, location and amount.

Nkanu East LGA Budget
What’s in the plan for your street?
The road to your shop. The drain outside your house. Start with the council’s budget: what’s planned, how much is set aside, and what to ask about your area.
01 / Understand the plan
You make a list before you spend.
Your council has a plan too.
A budget sets out the income the council expects and what it plans to spend for the year. Two words help you read it.
Recurrent spending
The costs of keeping services going: salaries, supplies and everyday running costs. A service needs money to keep working, too.
Ask: “What keeps the service running?”These are examples to help you read a budget, not confirmed projects or spending in Nkanu East.
02 / Money on record
The plan is one part.
Follow the money too.
We have FAAC allocation figures for Nkanu East. They show what was allocated from federally collected revenue, month by month.

03 / Ask your council
One place. One problem.
One clear question.
“What are you doing for us?” is easy to dodge. Try naming your street, the work it needs, and the information you want.
“Is it in the budget?”
Ask for the budget line, the amount approved and who is responsible.
“When should it happen?”
Ask for the start date and what the finished work should look like.
“What was actually done?”
Compare the spending report with what you can see. Keep dated notes and photos.
