Explaining further, he said the rising deficit was due to high debt servicing resulting from rising interest rates.
According to him, the Federal Government disbursed N1.48tn for recurrent expenditures for all its Ministries, Department and Agencies in the past year.
He argued that reducing government spending too drastically will be socially destabilising. Therefore, the regime is focused on increasing economic activity and by extension, revenue.
