“I commend the state Assembly for the prompt processing of the appropriation bill. I also laud my team for their cooperation with the various assembly committees in the budgetary process.
“We will ensure implementation as stipulated to reconstruct the society and ensure recovery of the critical sector,” the governor said.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that the Osun House of Assembly, on December 21, passed the 2024 Appropriation Bill of N273.9 billion after it was presented before it on Nov. 9 for consideration and approval.
