The governor said the budget, tagged: “Budget of Reconstruction and Recovery”, was crafted to fast-track the revitalisation of various sectors of the state economy.
The statement reads, “Our focus is to put the state on the path of sustainable development; hence, we are rebuilding all the sectors, namely education, health, sports, roads, agriculture, creative industry, digital economy, and general infrastructure alongside women and youth focussed programmes and policies.
“I commend the state Assembly for the prompt processing of the appropriation bill. I also laud my team for their cooperation with the various assembly committees in the budgetary process.
“We will ensure implementation as stipulated to reconstruct the society and ensure recovery of the critical sector,” the governor said.
