Ahmed signs N130.262b budget for 2014.
Kwara State Governor, Dr Abdulfatah Ahmed on Monday signed into law 2014 Appropriation Bill of N130,262,850,907 with a pledge that it will provide new vistas for confronting developmental challenges in the State.
Governor Ahmed noted that the 2014 budget with the theme “Budget of Expansion for Inclusive Prosperity”, provides “a blueprint for building major new projects to put more money in people’s pockets, get more youths into work, remodel additional hospitals and build more schools and roads”.
The Governor, who commended the State legislature for the foresight in increasing the budget size by 5 percent from N124,525,957,133 to N130,262,850,907, explained that the increase accommodates “the delays in securing the proposed N30b bond and an internal term loan of N5b for social-economic capital projects".
Governor Ahmed expressed the hope that the increase in the 2014 budget will not suffer the resource challenges that curtailed the government’s capacity to translate all the targets of the 2014 budget into reality, adding that "the bonds and other measures in the budget will enable his administration generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs, significantly transform our state and create new windows of economic opportunities for all levels of entrepreneurship".
The Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Hon. Rasaq Atunwa in his speech said the 2004 Appropriate was prepared in line with International best practices in accounting procedure.
