The Ekiti House of Assembly on Tuesday passed the 2017 N93.4bn Appropriation Bill presented to it two weeks ago by Gov. Ayo Fayose.

The assembly passed the budget as presented by the governor.

The Appropriation Bill is tagged: “Budget of Consolidation for Higher Heights.’’

In passing the 2017 Appropriation Bill, the House considered the report of its Finance and Appropriation Committee.

NAN reports that the bill was presented to the House by the governor for legislative consideration on Tuesday, Dec.6,2016.

It subsequently passed through necessary parliamentary procedures.

During the Second Reading, members spoke on the policy thrusts as highlighted in the details of the budget estimates.

It was committed into the Committee of the Whole House, scrutinised page-by-page by the members and later passed into law.

The speaker, Mr kola Oluwawole, in his remarks, said the budget had sensitively taken care of all areas that the administration would look into in 2017.

“I want to commend the Committee of Finance and Appropriation and other members for a job well done”, he said.

The speaker adjourned sitting till Feb.20

Laughing.

Ekiti Lawmakers be like,we are taking our Christmas,Boxing day,New Year and Valentine vacation at once.

And I am sure Fayose told them to take 2 months off,so that he can have the time to count the money just released by the Courts,just to be sure nothing is missing.

fayose my role model...

keep the likes coming and please someone should come to our aid.

Imagine a message in my place of work from our
DG
" Gather Staff and enlighten them as well as
broadcast this SMS. The truth is that since 2014,
FGN has taken Salary payment away from this
Institute. Every Civil Servant in the country is
paid centrally in a system called IPPIS and we
have nothing to do with the non-payment of
salaries currently being experienced. Everything
they told us to do, we complied and yet there
has been no payment even of month of
November. Payment of Salaries is administered
by Office of the Accountant General of the
Federation directly to individual accounts of
employees and Personnel Emolument of any
Staff comes to the Institute. DG/CEO"
how i wish the president or his people can see
this and come to our aid.... Corruption
everywhere and they keep blaming the president.
Since October, we have not received salary and
it is 20th December already.

Buhari's nightmare again

We are watching!!!

Of course they have to quickly pass it otherwise they will be marched to the govt house as promised by the governor if they dare not consider it quickly! But what is the basis of two month xmas holiday? Ekiti people don enter am!

Who are they deceiving? This look more like a rubber stamp assembly doing just like fayose openly declared before them while presenting the budget.


And why Feb. 20 self.. .they should've adjourn sitting till Dec. Next year when Fayose want to present 2018 budget now.. ..as far as i'm concerned, all the houses of assemblies from the LGA to states to national are all waste of public funds...we can always find an alternative way to make our laws.

Happy chrishmas in advance.

Na mistake oh, I just came to read comments...

Mehn all these assembly members dey live large sha. Which paid employer will allow you go on break till Feb 20th? yet they earn more than regular employees.

I wonder why the construction amendment sitting the other time didn't propose a drastic reduction in the break legislators can have. If the executive and judiciary don't go on such breaks, why should the legislature

And Lagos passed about 900bn? Na waoo...if Ambode dey talk Fayose go still dey talk, Ekiti budget be like one LGA own for Lagos, na this thing dey pain fayose make am dey shout anyhow. WE WILL NOT TAKE IT

Wailing wailer, do finish, Buhari is waiting 4 u. Bassketmouth.

Ok.

The news should have been "Fayose passes his 2017 Budget" of course he is the Ekiti Governor and only him is the Ekiti Assembly..Fayose once boasted in one of his election campaign that he doesn't need their vote but He will win.What a man

Kudos to them.

This budget better pass Buhari own

This state self. Always in the news anyway still better than my SOO. my governor attending parties in other states.
