Gov. Lalong signs ₦149.9b Appropriation bill into law

Thursday, the ₦149.9 billion 2023 Appropriations Bill was signed into law by Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong.

At Government House Jos, the state capital, where he signed the measure, the governor declared that it was an example of his administration's dedication to the welfare of the Plateau people.

“This is our administration’s last budget and we promise that we will do our best for the people. We remain committed to its implementation,” he said.

He thanked the Plateau House of Assembly (PLHA) for their input in the budget and prayed for resources for its implementation.

He also thanked the judiciary for their support in his administration’s discharge of duties, while urging them to extend such goodwill to the incoming administration.

Speaking earlier, Dan-Philips Hirkop, Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, said that the appropriation bill presented to PLHA in November was ₦139 billion, but was increased to handle some critical issues.

“The budget proposal was ₦139 billion but the house after its deliberations was able to come out with some critical issues with logistics for an effective transition.

“Other issues also include the current exercise of replacement and recruitment in tertiary institutions, the health sector and others to make provisions, bringing it to ₦149 billion instead of ₦139 billion,” he said.

Prime 9ja Online reports that the  bill was christened “Budget of Infrastructural Consolidation and Transition.”

P9O also reports that N84.1 billion was earmarked for recurrent expenditure, while N65.7 billion would be for capital spending.
