Ask Bayani — Budget Q&A

Welcome to Ask Bayani

3–4 lines of context give the best answers about your LGA.

Question guide

Step 1 Start with State + LGA + topic

Tell Bayani exactly where and what you care about. That narrows the data and documents immediately.

Clear, specific questions: Show total budget allocations for Giwa LGA in Kaduna State across all sectors. What did Aba North LGA receive for health in the latest year? List major education projects in Damaturu LGA, Yobe State.

Step 2 For FAAC, always add month + year

FAAC allocations are monthly. To avoid follow-up questions, include both the month and the year in one line.

Best FAAC question styles: What is the FAAC allocation for Aba North LGA in September 2019? Compare FAAC for Kumbotso LGA in Kano State in January 2024 vs February 2024. Break down FAAC to all LGAs in Yobe State for August 2023 by sector.

Step 3 Put all your filters in one question

You can combine State, LGA, sector and time range together. This gives Bayani enough detail to answer in one step.

All-in-one filters: For Ikeja LGA in Lagos State, compare FAAC and IGR for January–March 2022 by sector. Show health allocations to all LGAs in Kano State in 2021, ranked from highest to lowest. For Damaturu LGA, summarize allocations to education, health and works in 2020.

Step 4 Mention documents when you need citations

If you want Bayani to read or compare specific PDFs, mention the document name, year, or FAAC circular in your question.

Document-aware questions: Using the FAAC circular for September 2019, how much did Aba North LGA receive in total? From the Yobe capital projects document 2023, list education projects in Damaturu LGA. Compare health allocations in the 2022 budget PDFs for Giwa LGA and Zaria LGA.
