That is around 505 million dollars.

And the funny thing is most states have that tiny amount of money as 'budget'

Yet people would be wanting what an economy with a budget of 500 Billion dollars has.

Nigerians are not ready to change Nigeria.





Yes, Nigeria is BROKE. Corruption makes the brokeness WORSE. Realizing Nigeria is a broke nation is the first step on the road to change. Second step is to realize that oyel cannot feed even Bayelsa state.

750 billion for a population of approximately 4.2 million people amounts to about N182k or $116 per head, if the money were to be shared.
$116 can't feed a 6-month-old child for one year. The budget is very poor.

In context. The US budget for 2023 was $6.7 trillion on a populationof 334 million. Each person gets at least $20k or or #34 million if it were to be shared.
That's what a budget looks like

MadamVanessa:



Best governor for now in Nigeria.

Ojiofor:
Alex Otti is more ambitious in mega project delivery than Peter Obi who was more conservative in saving money than spending.
Both are good in their own ways.

jamafa:
Ah!

Where U one put Sanwolu??

They're alot governors doing better than Oti at present

Objectivist04:
I don't believe in saving money when there are lots of infrastructure deficit. When Peter Obi was busy saving money, lots of streets in Onitsha remained untarred , he could have used that money to turn nnewi Onitsha and Awka into modern cities. He ruled at same time with Sullivan and Akpabio who transformed their respective states by heavily investing in infrastructure.

Otti is better than Obi but he has the advantage of learning from obi's mistakes

Ojiofor:
That is why I disagree with those who always want to attach Peter Obi to Alex Otti.Two of them are quite different in method of governance.
In less than two years Otti have undertaken multiple mega projects across Abia state and is hungry and in a haste to develop the state.

By the time Otti finishes his first term, people will be shouting wow ! Wow !! Wow !!!.
Just as you pointed earlier, their styles are quiet different. Otti does not fear projecs , man came prepared , you need to see the ovom erosion site that he is tacking instead of crying to the federal government. The federal government wanted to construct airstrip in Abia but Otti instead decided to team with then so as to upgrade it to full airport.. man will surely transform Abia by the time he ends his 8 years tenure. He is conscious of legacy.

Bobloco:
Typical of a notorious ethnic bigot:
instead of presenting facts and figures about other governors who have performed far better than Alex Otti, you go all out displaying your tribal and ethnic bigotry

Alliswell248:
You like over hyping nonsense.....
How is Otti, the best governor? What are your metrics?
Facts and figures dont lie.

Note......not everybody here is uneducated.

Jorussia:
This is not an issue of compliment the state doesn't have huge financial resources.Most governors present unrealistic budget proposals.Abia state can't get more than #10b from FAAC and I am not aware they have an igr of #60b annually.
