The Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong has signed the N149.9 billion 2023 appropriation bill into law.
Lalong commended the State House of Assembly for giving due attention to the budget and passing it in record time in line with the provisions of SFTAS.
He said as the last budget of the Rescue Administration, the government would do its best to implement the budget and smoothly bow out by handing over a virile economy to the next administration.
Lalong said the synergy between the three Arms of Government will continue as it has yielded positive results which are evident in the smooth running of Government and implementation of critical projects and programmes.
The Commissioner for Budget and Planning Dan Hirkop said the House of Assembly had raised the earlier budget of 139.3 billion naira to 149.9 billion having considered other issues such as injection of more staff into the workforce as well as transition to the next administration among others.
He said the approved 2023 budget consists of recurrent expenditure of N84.153 billion and capital component of N65.594 billion.
