Statistics were also sourced from the BBC, SBM Intelligence and Amnesty International.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nMeanwhile, based on the 2016 Appropriation Act available on the website of the Budget Office of the Federation, a total of N443bn was allocated to the defence ministry, consisting of N312.2bn for recurrent expenditure and N130.8bn for capital expenditure.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nIn 2017, N483bn was budgeted for the ministry, including N330.4bn for recurrent expenditure and N138.6bn for capital expenditure.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">In 2018, N576.3bn was allocated to the ministry, comprising N418.6bn for recurrent expenditure and N157.7bn for capital expenditure.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nThe defence ministry was expected to get N585.9bn in 2019, including N430.8bn for recurrent expenditure and N159.1bn for capital expenditure.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">In 2020, N899.9bn was budgeted for the ministry, comprising N784bn for recurrent expenditure and N115.8bn for capital expenditure.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nIn 2021, N966.4bn was allocated to the ministry, including N838.5bn for recurrent expenditure and N127.8bn for capital expenditure.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nAdditionally, the recently signed 2021 Supplementary Appropriation Act allocated to the ministry a total of N714.5bn.
