The Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Tuesday presented a budget proposal of N67billion to the State House of Assembly for the 2016 fiscal year.
Presenting the budget, Mr. Fayose said the figure represents a 17 percent reduction in the 2015 appropriation, which was N80billion.
According to him, the cut was informed by his government’s decision to live within its means and avoid proposing unrealizable projects.
The governor clarified that he decided to involve the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to monitor the implementation in order to prevent “political petitioners” from peddling lies against his government.
The governor appropriated N100 million to his “stomach infrastructure” programme, and also restored the scrapped Social Security Scheme for the indigent, which was initiated by the Kayode Fayemi-led government.
Mr. Fayose said 10,000 persons would continue to receive the sum of N5, 000 monthly from January, 2016.
Giving the details of the budget tagged Budget of Purposeful and Strategic Transformation, Mr. Fayose said N24billion and N44billion were earmarked for capital and recurrent expenditures respectively.
Under the capital expenditure, Mr. Fayose said the proposed airport, Oja Oba Market and the Flyover would become realities in 2016, being part of his efforts to give Ekiti a befitting facelift.
He expressed dissatisfaction with the huge recurrent figure of N43 billion, saying it was to enable him cater for workers’ welfare, which is a priority of his government.
He reiterated his position against the plan by the Nigeria Governors’ Forum to either retrench or cut the N18, 000 minimum wage, saying his government won’t associate with any anti-people policy.
Mr. Fayose said he recorded a 70 per cent budget performance in 2015, despite the dwindling revenues caused by slump in oil prices in the international market.

The goodnews is that he's performing. He doesn't owe salaries and he identifies with his people. He doesn't sweet-talk but he is a realist. Intimidating CV does not necessarily translate into good governance. What did Fayemi do that Fayose isn't doing better? There is no theory that states that intelligentias handle and control a state's destiny better than others. At least, he supervises the cheques he signs and approves. Majority of his people share this same sentiments with him and he speaks the language they understand.
So, leave Fayose alone. He is a radical politician else his detractors would have illegally removed him from office. He defied all moves made to steal the mandate freely given to him by his people. I suppose, that's why you called him a thug.

Performing commissioning roadside kponmo and so on..

You people obviously have your own warped and crooked interpretation for performance.


Fayemi performed better than many governors in Nigeria.

While it took akpabio 8 years to build 1 single hospital, Fayemi built and commissioned a 300 bed hospital in less than 4 years. Would you like to see the roads, water works and all the other projects he started and commissioned in less than 4 years.


Second though, I don't think you really know what you are talking about..

I just confirm my thought sha.... Fayose have nothing for ekiti people.....

Stomach infrastructure...
Flyover... (maybe one)
Oja oba...

Oga gaan ni..

just 68 billion, fayose don finish ekiti state.

If he is going to be paying 5000 to the unemployed, what is the source of revenue for the Ekiti?

Is this good for the people of the state.

Hmmm what can I say, the ball is in your court Ekiti residents

The fact that he didn't get reelected means he did not do what I asserted he did for his people or what's the meaning of your silly and pointless rubbish..?
