Governor Ododo emphasized that the 2025 budget is a realistic reflection of the state’s financial capacity, considering both internal and external funding sources. He highlighted that it was designed to improve internally generated revenue, facilitate debt repayment, foster a business-friendly environment, promote public-private partnerships, optimize revenue, and ensure project completion.


Speaker of the House, Umar Yusuf, emphasized the importance of collaboration between the Executive and Legislative Arms in scrutinizing the budget. He stressed that lawmakers have a duty to ensure the budget aligns with the state’s priorities and serves the welfare and aspirations of the people, promoting inclusive development and economic growth.
