 Delta State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Sharif Obrowary on Wednesday approved a proposed budget of 714.4 billion Naira for the 2024 fiscal year. The Commissioner for Economic Planning, Sonny Ekedayan, has said the proposed budget comprised 397 billion Naira representing 56% of capital expenditure while 316 billion Naira representing 44% is for recurrent expenditure. Sonny Ekedayan made this known to newsmen shortly after the post-exco meeting in Government House Asava, the state capital. Ekedayan said the budget size is 714.4 billion Naira broken down into capital and recurrent components of 397 billion Naira capital representing 56% while the recurrent component is 316 billion representing 44%. The budget size is 714.4 billion broken down into capital and revenue components of 397 billion capital presenting 56% while the revenue component is 316 billion coming up to 44%. The budget was premised largely on division of the present administration and composing largely activities and programs that will drive the more agenda. It's still a proposition because the House of Assembly will still have to look at it and approve at a later date. However, broadly speaking, it's a budget that many people will be happy and proud of.
