The Edo State House of Assembly on Monday passed the state 2025 budget of N675 billion for assent by the Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo.

The passage followed the adoption of the report of the House Committee on Budget and Project Monitoring at plenary in Benin City.

Presenting the report, chairman of the committee, Sunday Fada, (PDP, Esan Central) said the budget was made up of N225 billion recurrent expenditure and N451 billion capital expenditure.

Fada noted that the committee came up with the increase in the budgetary allocation to enable the governor carry out his five points agenda in the state.

The House at the committee of Supply, considered the budget clause by clause and subsequently, approved the increase from N605.7 billion to N675 billion.

The Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku, thereafter directed Mr Yahaya Omogbai, the clerk of the house to forward clean copies of the budget to the governor for his assent.

I laugh in Swahili for anyone rooting for any politician to change Nigeria.

Tinubu is there for himself and family. Obi will be there for himself if given the opportunity. I will do the same at the bat of an eyelid.

I hope he understands what he's adding to the budget? You don't add to what you were confused about.
