The Oyo State House of Assembly has passed and approved an upward review of the state’s budget, increasing it from ₦678 billion to ₦684 billion.
This approval came after the House Committee on Finance, Appropriation, and State Economic Planning presented its report read by its Chairman, Mr. Sunkanmi Babalola representing Egbeda State Constituency at the plenary presided over by the Speaker, Mr. Adebo Ogundoyin.
According to the Speaker, one major reason for the upward review of the 2025 budget to N684b is to accommodate emerging priorities and critical projects that will drive economic growth, improve infrastructure, and enhance the overall well-being of our citizens.
