Lola’s hair palace, we give the best service.

This was contained in a message from the Governor addressed to the Speaker, Hon. Yakubu Danladi-Salihu and read before his colleagues during today's plenary

Governor Abdulrazaq said with the revised appropriation would be placed on ongoing capital projects and consistent payment of the new minimum wage across board.

He noted that the revised estimate represents a shortfall of Two point Zero, Eight billion naira of 1.1 percent from the approved Twenty Twenty-Two budget of One Hundred and Eighty-Nine point Six billion naira

The Governor submitted that Fifty-Two point Three Four percent of the revised budget would go for recurrent while capital expenditure will gulp the remaining Forty-Seven point Six percent

Governor Abdulrazaq explained that the recurrent peaked partly to accommodate rise in personnel cost such as full implementation of the minimum wage in the mainstream civil service, agencies and parastatals of the state government, including the Colleges of Education and other overhead items.

The Speaker therefore referred the Revised Budget Estimate to the House Committee on Appropriation for further legislative action.

In another development, the Kwara state House of Assembly urged Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to direct the Ministry of Communications to embark on sensitization against illegal dumping of refuse in the state to prevent environmental disaster and diseases.

This followed a Matter of General Public Importance raised by Deputy Speaker, Raphael Adetiba representing Oke-Ero Constituency.

The Speaker, Hon Yakubu Danladi-Salihu while reading the resolutions of the House advocated strict punishment for violators of laws to serve as deterrents to others.
