The Nigerian Government has methods for funding Federal Agencies which can be seemingly convoluted to the casual observer. Appropriation is when an amount of money is set aside for specific purposes. The Federal Government appropriates funds in order to meet the essential needs of its agencies. In Nigeria, appropriations from the Federal Government are decided by the National Assembly through various committees. Appropriations tell us how money is being allocated each year through the Federal Government Budget. This is done each year to enable the government to allocate funds to various programmes and agencies. The Federal Government agencies or MDAs prepare a budget every year which is an estimate or projection of expenditure of that MDA and all are aggregated and submitted to the National Budgeting Office which also scrutinise the budget and compile the various MDAs’ budget. The budget is further submitted to the National Assembly which carries out appropriation through its various committees after the MDAs defend their budget. An appropriation is known as a supply bill or spending bill and is a proposed law that authorises the expenditures of the Federal Government and its agencies.

The National Institute of Construction Technology and Management (NICTM), Uromi, a Federal polytechnic, is one of the Federal Government agencies which carry-out expenditure projection (budgeting) or estimation every year which is submitted and presented to the National Assembly through its committee on appropriation yearly. However, these processes are faced with rigorous activities, challenges and shortfalls from the appropriation processes in each year in terms of budget performance. The Federal Government Appropriations made provisions for capital projects development, overhead or running costs and personnel emolument. The projects carried out through the utilisation of Federal appropriation are summarised as follows:

Community Relations

The importance of the relationship between NICTM and the Uromi community cannot be overemphasised

There have been cordial relationships between NICTM and the community

This relationship is exemplified in the involvement of the community in the donation of land for the permanent site measuring 1.7km by 1.7km (approximately 300 hectare) by the Onojie of Uromi, HRM Zaiki Anslem Edenojie II. 

This cordial relationship was demonstrated again with the donation of a 14-seater Hiace bus by Engr. Senator Clifford Odia, the donation of 10 units of computer systems by Barr. Emmanuel Ogbebor, and the donation of five signposts to the Institute to enhance publicity for the Institute by the Amedokhian community.

Again, the Uromi Like Minds Initiative, an indigenous NGO, gave five students drawn from different departments, scholarships of One hundred thousand naira each on the 13th of November, 2021. This award was given on the basis of merit as the awardees/recipients were undoubtedly the best in the five affected departments.

As part of giving back to the community, we also constituted a committee of staff to go around a number of schools within the Uromi environ to educate students on career choices and development as relates to construction, engineering and technology-based careers, and also the place of their generation in the development of the community, the state and the nation at large.
