He said that the budget had been designed to take the state out of underdevelopment, secure its next level of development and promote economic stability in Abia.

“The next few years will be Uhuru for all our people, those living here, those from here and our friends.

“It is not in error that we devoted 84 per cent of the budget to capital expenditure.

He said the estimate was being prepared to serve the people of the state, adding that he assented to the bill sequel to legislative approval.

“We are signing our first appropriation bill into law after scrutiny by Jigawa State House of Assembly.

“And, I was told by many heads of MDAs and extra- ministrial departments the kind of scrunity the underwent before the assembly.

“So, I urge the House to use its oversight functions to ensure that the budget is used as planned and approved.

“Also, this budget is fine after thorough consultations with many stakeholders and citizens of the state.

“So it’s people’s budget. And what is in it is what would be implemented for the betterment of our people,” the governor said.

Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State on Thursday signed the 2024 budget of N300 billion into law.

Mohammed lauded the speaker and members of the State House of Assembly for the timely passage of the budget, and appreciated them for their commitment and effective scrutiny of the budget.

“I have followed with keen interest, the legislative processes which ensured that all MDAs were invited and a thorough appraisal of their submissions was made.

“I must also add that the honourable members have had no break since the day we presented the budget till the final consideration was made,” said the governor.
