“However, it is not the size of the budget that matters but the implementation and the capacity to gather the resources so that we get at least 90% implementation. This is why it is a budget of reality,” he added.
He said the emphasis in the budget is on education, health and infrastructural facilities and for the education, the budget is aimed at realising the government’s policy of free and compulsory education from basic to secondary level.
Concerning health facilities, he said the government will strengthen the primary health facilities.
“We want at least one functional health facility in each of the 448 wards in the state,” he added.
