Reviewing the 2022 mid-year budget performance, Economic Planning and Budget Commissioner Mr. Sam Egube said: “Our state achieved 80 per cent of revenue and that was quite phenomenal, especially considering the challenges we face as a country.
Looking at the total Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), we have N346 billion, compared to N451 billion, achieving 77 per cent performance; total budget – out of an expectation of N880 billion, we have spent about N675 billion, achieving 77 per cent performance.
“It is our aspiration that we will move this performance as we move into the second quarter to rev it up to over 80 per cent. You will note that over the last three years, our state has achieved very strong budget performance in the neighbourhood of over 80 per cent and that is something we will continue to drive irrespective of the challenges we face as a nation.”
