Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, on Thursday, signed into law the revised 2020 Appropriation Bill.

The 2020 Budget was revised from N449.97bn to N280bn.

Abiodun, while performing the ceremony in his office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, after receiving it from the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Olakunle Oluomo, said his government would work within the budget, to ensure that the people get its benefits.

He said: “I want to appreciate our Lawmakers for expediting action on the Bill. The relationship between the legislature and the executive is exemplary. Issues relating to moving the State forward, are always given due and prompt attention.

The House has done the needful. They have done good work. We will do our best to ensure that we work within the budget by paying attention to those sectors that impact positively on our people.”

He noted that the review of the budget was due to the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, in line with the current realities, adding that the government would fix the inadequacy in the health sector, as exposed by the Coronavirus.

Speaking earlier, Speaker Oluomo, explained that relevant stakeholders were engaged in the course of amending the Bill.

He also expressed hope that it would re-engineer the socio-economy of the state.
