Anambra Assembly passes 2018 budget, tasks Obiano on 90 per cent implementation


The Anambra State House of Assembly has passed the 2018 appropriation bill into law.
The bill is N170.9billion as against N166.9 bn presented to it by the State Governor, Willie Obiano in December.
The Chairman finance and Appropriation Committee of the House, Mr Obinna Emenaka said the increase in the allocation was to accommodate development of more infrastructure in the state.
He said his committee arrived at the new figure following painstaking sessions during budget defence by ministries and departments of the government.
He said “Our governor has sustained regular payment of salaries and on time. This apparent interest by the governor in paying his workers is happily reflected in this year’s budget alongside the other numerous projects.”
Speaking, the Speaker of the House, Mrs Rita Maduagwu commended the members and staff of the legislature for what she called their “wonderful contributions towards the passage of the bill”.
She said, “Actually, we have fulfilled our promise to His Excellency, Governor Willie Obiano and the people of Anambra State, that we would give the bill accelerated consideration.
“I commend various committees with special thanks to the Finance and Appropriation Committee under the leadership of Hon Obinna Emenaka for thorough budget defence exercise.
“This prompt passage of the 2018 Appropriation bill is in line with our resolve to continue to enact laws aimed at improving the living standard of our people as well as the growth and development of the state.
“The content of this year’s budget is rich and development driven, purposely designed for the good governance of the state
Maduagwu said the 2017 budget recorded above 80 percent implementation,” adding” we expect over 90 percent implementation this year”.
She said the Assembly would take seriously the issue of oversight responsibility to ensure effective implementation of the budget.

In line with Governor Willie Obiano's determination in making the state self sufficient in rice production, rice farmers have achieved three cycles rice farming in a year.

The success story which was achieved through the state International Fund for Agricultural Development, IFAD, Value Chain Development Program, VCDP, an intervention program attracted by the Obiano led administration recorded six-point-three tons per hectare.
Farmers participating in the state International Fund for Agricultural Development, Value Chain Development Program have harvested and threshed the first set of the dry season rice farm transplanted in November last year.
The farm located at Idoko Owusi in Omor, Ayamelum council area, will wittiness another transplanting in March which will be due for harvest in June before the wet season cycle.
Speaking during the harvesting and threshing, the Assistant Agric Production Officer, IFAD VCDP, Mr. Joseph Okonkwo said with total compliance to the best agronomic practices and early supply of farm inputs to farmers, the achievement of food sufficiency is assured.
Mr. Okonkwo urged farmers to embrace modern and mechanized farming and desist from orthodox way of broadcasting as according to him it often results to opoor yield.
The owner of the rice farm, Mr. Michael Afune who confirmed that they can comfortably cultivate three cycles of rice farming in a year said, he recorded more yield in the dry season than in the wet season.
He applauded the state IFAD VCDP for equipping them with the threshing machine and other numerous farm inputs but however, appealed for the sinking of tube wales and pesticides
