Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, on Friday signed into law the N343.9 billion 2018 Budget after it was presented to him by the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Suraj Ishola Adekunbi.
Amosun signed the bill into law at the Governorโs Office, Oke Mosan, Abeokuta.
Speaker Adekunbi, the state Deputy Governor, Chief Yetunde Onanuga, the lawmakers and some members of the State Executive Council were at the signing ceremony.
The budget which initially stood at N345.4 billion when presented to the House by the governor was reduced by N1.4 billion after scrutiny by the 26- member legislators.
Governor Amosun lauded the leadership of the House for working round the clock to ensure speedy passage of the budget.
โWithout the budget in place, it may be difficult for us to re-strategise on our rebuilding mission,โ Amosun said.
