This development according to THISDAY checks was sequel to the report of the House Committee on Finance and Appropriation on the Year 2019 Revised Appropriation Bill presented to the House by the Chairman of the Committee Hon Ambali Olatunji Ibrahim.

According to the Chairman of the Committee, the reduction of the budget size was necessary to enhance the state chances of benefitting maximally from the benefit derivable by the state from, "the State Fiscal Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability Programme for Result (SFTAS) open to all states with high/appreciable Budget implementation/performance, accountability, transparency and sustainability of their Budgets."

Meanwhile, considering the fact that there is little time left to the end of the year, a term loan of about N1.67bn was granted as against the initial N6.221bn proposed by the governor of the state, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdurazaq.

The Speaker of the House, Rt Hon Yakubu Danladi Salihu, in his remarks commended the House Committee on Finance and Appropriation for doing a thorough work on the budget review.

Salihu directed the Clerk of the House, Hajia Halimah Jummai Kperogi to forward a clean copy to the State Governor for assent.
