Presenting the budget on the floor of the Ogu/Bolo Legislative Assembly, the chairman stated that the 2020 Physical Appropriation Budget, tagged ‘Budget of Continuity’ has a total recurrent expenditure of N2.274 billion, while N1.191 billion was proposed as capital expenditure.
Erasmus noted that top on the priority of the capital expenditure is the building of the new legislative block in Ogu, the completion of the Bolo Ultra Modern Market and other human capital development projects, saying “notable among issues on capital expenditure is the new legislative complex in Ogu that would be built soon and the Bolo Market”
According to him, “the 2020 annual appropriation budget will be the Budget of Continuity. I’m going to continue on human capital projects, road infrastructure maintenance, building of markets and other access roads”.
He said despite the challenges in 2019, his administration was not owing salaries as he has an up to-date record in payment of salaries and promised to maintain the feat.
“We promise to maintain our outstanding performances in the payment of salaries allowances based on the available resources. It is our prayer that Covid-19 should give way to surge in economic growth”, he said.
On his part, the leader of the Ogu/Bolo Legislative Assembly, Joachim Yemieari, pledged the continued support of the House to ensure the success of the Victor Erasmus-led administration.
