Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola has signed into law the state’s Appropriation Bill for 2022.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to creating jobs and opportunities for youth, building more infrastructure, and putting Osun on a more solid footing.
Governor Oyetola, who announced that the 2021 budget had achieved 83.66 percent performance as of the third quarter of this year, maintained that the race to achieve more in 2022 has begun, as it remains a year of consolidation that will open the door for improved sustainable development.
He attributed the budget’s “considerable performance” to improved program and project delivery across the state during the fiscal year.
‘The government was able to achieve this year’s budget performance and service delivery through improved employment of creative, innovative and probity strategies, including efficient deployment of available resources, cutting costs and plugging wastes to deliver service in a sorely challenged economy,’ he said.
‘With 56% capital allocation and 44% recurrent allocation in next year’s budget, we are obviously on the path of increased service delivery in 2022,’ he said, revealing his administration’s resolve to continue to follow time-tested principles for optimum results in 2022.
‘In the last three years of working together as executive and legislative arms of government, we have demonstrated the unity of purpose, capacity, and people-orientation in a manner that has delivered service to the people in line with our promise and the people’s expectations,’ Oyetola said, commending the spirit of harmonious relationship, cooperation, and synergy among the three arms of government, particularly between the legislature and executive.
