Mr Makinde who arrived at the Assembly complex in Ibadan, the state capital, around 11.00 a.m. began the budget presentation around 11.11 a.m. and spoke for about 45 minutes.
He said, “Honourable Members of the Hallowed Chambers, education remains a big issue in Oyo State. We have started tackling head-on the number of out-of-school children in Oyo State by providing free education in public secondary schools. We followed up by providing the students with free exercise books and textbooks.
The drivers and conductors on Iwo Road, Ogbomoso, Ipapo and Lalupon who do not want to spend all their takings on bus repairs. The small and medium scale business owners who want an enabling environment for their business to thrive. But, as any good manager will tell you, it is better to create your own plan than to repair a defective one. Little wonder that, the last administration’s budget achieved under 40% implementation.
Mr Speaker Sir, it is our plan to be bullish with infrastructural development, especially road construction. Recently, we awarded the contract for the Moniya-Ijaiye-Iseyin road with a completion agreement of twelve months. The contractor has since moved to the site and commenced work. Let me reiterate that this administration will complete all ongoing viable projects to which the state’s funds had been committed.
With this development, there is greater pressure on health facilities and thus a need for more personnel. I have, therefore, given approval for the recruitment of five hundred Medical and Health Workers in our hospitals, at the State College of Nursing and Midwifery as well as the College of Health Science and Technology.Mr Speaker Sir, Honourable Members, we remain determined to utilize agriculture to drive our economy and have allocated 4.43% of the total budget proposal to this sector.
This man will soon understand Oyo people are not ready for any audio achievement... 😃😂😂 the eRlier u get to work, d better for u and ur paid agents singing ur praises while d state is turned into refuse dumpsite.
