2015 BUDGET SPEECH DELIVERED BY THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR
OF EKITI STATE, MR. PETER AYODELE FAYOSE AT THE STATE HOUSE
OF ASSEMBLY COMPLEX, ON MONDAY 15TH
OCTOBER, 2014.
PROTOCOLS
I am highly delighted to stand before this Honourable House to
present the maiden budget speech of my second term in office as
the Executive Governors of Ekiti State.
As I stated during my inauguration and swearing in on October
16th
, 2014 that “Essentially, this government is a government of
restoration. We shall continue with the people-oriented
programmes which we started in 2003”. It is therefore noteworthy
that we have consulted widely in ensuring the input of all
Stakeholders in arriving at a budget that reflects our collective
aspiration for sustainable development across all sectors of the
economy. The Budget 2015 which I have tagged “Budget of
Restoration” has been prepared with strategic underpinning of the
six (6) Cardinal Programmes of this administration as follows:
- Empowerment
- Development of Agriculture
- Infrastructural Development
- Education, Science and Technology
- Health and
- Good Governance
As you are aware, the Annual Budget has proved to be the most
effective and efficient tool for the formulation, implementation and
execution of government’s plans and programmes. It is also a
veritable means by which resources that will be available to
Government within a Fiscal Year are estimated and allocated to
socially and economically productive sectors of the economy. A well
planned budget is an instrument of economic policy, accountability
and resources management. It is not only a control mechanism, but
2. 2015 BUDGETSPEECH DELIVERED BY THE GOVERNOR, MR. PETER AYODELEFAYOSE ON MONDAY15TH OCTOBER, 2014.
a guide for human and materials management. It ensures a fiscal
discipline and also curtails unnecessary expenditures. As a tool for
economic planning, policy, and fiscal control, the year 2015 Budget
has been prepared in conformity with the tenets of Public Financial
Management (PFM). It is crafted as an offshoot of the Medium Term
Expenditure Framework (2015-2017) which was passed by this
Hounourable House of Assembly on Monday 8th December, 2014.
The role of this distinguish House therefore is to examine the
draft Budget and in the process, further articulate the needs of the
electorate and appropriate public funds for the realization of the
collective objectives of Government. This crucial function is strategic
and cannot be wished away. Every careful step has therefore been
taken to ensure all provisions of the law are strictly adhered to in the
preparation of the 2015 Budget.
