Hon Commissioner For Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs and Community Development Hajia Aisha Ahman Pategi today host the staffers in the 16 LGA of kwara on Budget Review and Defense
In her welcome address, It is my pleasure to welcome you all to this epoch event
The annual budget of a Local Government is prepared in accordance with the provision of section 114 of Edict No. 8 of 1976 as amended. The call circular was sent to all the Local Government to prepare them ahead.
It is pertinent to mention that the Ministry has received the draft budget after the pre budget scrutiny in the Ministry.
As you are all aware, it is oversight function, and also tradition for this Ministry to scrutinize the draft budget so that all the grey areas in the budget would be addressed.
Hajia Aisha Ahman Pategi Continue I must stress here that the ministry is not responsible for the Local Government budget, rather it is to assist and guide the Local Governments in presenting a realistic budget and to advice where necessary before the draft is presented for approval of Local Government Legislative Council.
This meeting would afford us the opportunity to make adequate plan for running the council through the 2019 budgets. It is the responsibility of this Ministry to supervise and monitor the preparation and implementation of the budget for the 16 Local Government Areas.
At this juncture, I wish to enjoin you to join hands with the staff of the Ministry for the success of the exercise. Also, in order to achieve the aim and objectives of which this program is meant for, all hand must be in deck to ensure that this budget screening exercise is done diligently.
I hereby wish us fruitful deliberation on the year 2020 budget.
Thank you
