Edo, State News Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011THE Edo State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, on Tuesday, signed the 2011 budget of the state, totalling N112.7 billion into law, with a promise to distribute amenities in the state equally.
Oshiomhole, while signing the budget, said “the challenge for the executive branch, for which you have oversight function, is to ensure that both the spirit and letter of this budget are truly translated.”
He assured the people of the state that the administration would remain careful in ensuring that it eliminated wastages in the system, so as to put resources where they would have impact on a greater number of people in the state.
“I want to assure the good people of Edo State that this budget is essentially designed to ensure that we complete the projects that we have started and, where possible, we initiate new ones. With this instrument in place, I have no doubt in my mind that a number of projects would be completed,” he said.
He commended the speaker and members of the state House of Assembly for the timely passage of the bill.
According to the governor, “since my assumption of office, this is the first time that we are concluding and signing the budget into law within the first month of the year. It has not happened before.”
