Gov Fintiri Signs N140bn 2021 Budget Into Law

Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri on Saturday signed N140bn 2021 budget into law.

He signed the budget at the residential wing of the Government House in Yola.

Speaking during the signing, the Governor said the 2021 budget was designed to stabilise the state and achieve maximum development.

He said 52 percent of the N140 billion budget is earmarked for capital projects in the belief of his government that democracy without infrastructural development is a failed democracy.

He added that N16 billion of the budget would be spent on development of youths and women in his administration’s commitment to human capital development for a better society.

Eko Hot Blog reports that the Adamawa State House of Assembly had passed the N14O billion fiscal appropriation on Christmas eve in what was described as a rare plenary, almost exactly as the executive proposed it.
