Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, Tuesday signed the state's 2011 budget totaling N112.7 billion with a firm resolution to make sure that distribution of amenities and infrastructural development gets to the nooks and cranny of the state
Oshiomhole while signing the 2011 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. Let me assure the good people of Edo State that we would remain vigilant and careful in ensuring that we eliminate wastages in the system as much as possible, so that we can put resources where they would have the greatest impact on the greater number of people in the state.
"I want to assure the good people of Edo State that this budget, 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 noted. He commended the Speaker and members of the House of Assembly for the timely passage of the bill.
