Speaking during the brief budget signing event held at the governor’s temporary office, on Friday, in Calabar, Otu said the Supplementary Appropriation Law was a “significant milestone in our commitment to the development and well-being of our dear State.”

He mentioned that the revision was a response to the inflationary pressures and macroeconomic realities that have influenced government’s financial planning.

“The supplementary budget prioritizes key areas crucial to our State’s growth. We are making a strategic investment in purchasing additional aircrafts to enhance our aviation capabilities to address the current situation in our drive towards fostering better connectivity and promoting economic activities.

“In infrastructure, we are dedicating resources to improve our roads, bridges, and public facilities, ensuring they meet the needs of our growing population. Our education sector will receive additional support to upgrade schools, provide essential learning materials, and ensuring quality education for all our children.

“Healthcare remains a vital focus, with increased funding allocated to hospitals and health centers to improve the quality and accessibility of medical services.

“Security is paramount, and this budget includes provisions to strengthen our security apparatus, enhancing the safety and security of our citizens,” he stated.

He also informed that, with the Supplementary Budget, his administration would be expanding social protection programmes to support the most vulnerable in communities, providing them with the necessary resources to navigate the present challenging economic times.

While thanking the State House of Assembly for its expedited action that led to the speedy passage of the Supplementary Appropriation Law, he described it as a testament to government’s commitment to the people of Cross River State, which he noted evidently reflects the sheer determination to address current challenges while ensuring a prosperous and inclusive future.

The Revised Appropriation Bill 2024, passed into law by the State Assembly, on Thursday, brings the new Budget size to 437,876,029,437.51 (Four hundred and Thirty-seven Billion, Eight Hundred and Seventy-six Million, Twenty-nine Thousand, Four Hundred and Thirty-seven Naira, Fifty-one kobo).

The breakdown of the budget size indicates that N151, 684,649,487.66 is for Personnel/Overhead Cost, N283,333,644,824.34 for Capital Expenditure and N2,857,735,125.51 is for Statutory Expenditure.
