The Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has assured the people of the State that his administration will be underscored by the implementation of the Year 2020 Budget, noting that his administration would also follow through on its vision.
Prince Dapo Abiodun, who made this known in his office while signing the budget, said that his administration will ensure that the budget was implemented to the letter, adding that the implementation of the budget by the executive arm of government would further help to appreciate its passage by the legislature.
Abiodun opined that his administration would ensure that all the assumptions that had been made in the area of revenue generation were met, noting that his administration is determined to ensure that the citizens of the State enjoy the dividend of democracy.
“On the part of the executive, we affirm that our appreciation will be further underscored by the implementation of this budget. I believe that is indeed how we can demonstrate the appreciation of this speedy passage to the House of Assembly and to the rest of the citizens of this State, by extension.
“We will ensure that this budget is implemented to the letter. We will do everything to ensure that all the assumptions that have been made, particularly in the areas of revenue generation become a reality and we will follow through on our vision,” he said.
The Governor commended the State House of Assembly for showing good character in the discharge of their duties, noting that he wasn’t sure if any State Assembly had been able to pass its budget in record time.
“Permit me to first appreciate our very Honorable Members of the Ogun State House of Assembly who have demonstrated their commitment, knowledge of what this assignment entails. They have also demonstrated their patriotism for this State. I am not sure of how many State Assemblies have either passed their budget or have passed it in record time that our House has passed this budget, and I know that they have done this despite all other responsibilities we saddled them with,” he said.
