Taraba state Governor, Darius Ishaku, has signed into law the 2021 appropriation bill which on Thursday passed third reading on the floor of the state house of assembly.
The 2021 approved budget signed by the governor is over two billion Naira higher than the estimate presented to the house by the governor.
Recall that Ishaku had on December 4, presented a budget estimate of N139,460,435,961 to the state house of assembly, which was jacked up to 141, 625,435,961 by the lawmakers.
The Taraba governor, who spoke after his assent on the 2021 appropriation bill said he was ready to commence implementation of the budget.
Udo filed the petition against Luke on November 15, 2020 and prayed the panel to open an investigation into the allegation that security operatives attached to the then Speaker of the State House of Assembly breached his fundamental rights in 2017.
During the hearing on Wednesday in Uyo, counsel to Luke, Ekemini Udim, filed a notice of objection, stating that the panel had no power to entertain the petition.
He argued that the subject matter of the petition had already been decided upon and dismissed by the Federal High Court in its judgment delivered on January 15, 2018.
He said as such the panel had no jurisdiction to sit over a matter that had already been decided and dismissed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, on Wednesday, presented to the State House of Assembly, the 2021 Budget of N169. 85 billion for consideration and passage.
Presenting the budget proposal tagged: “Budget of Recovery and Continued Growth”, Ugwuanyi disclosed that it “is 13.8 percent higher than our revised 2020 budget”.
The governor explained that the budget proposal was carefully designed to strategically enhance the recovery of the state from the drawbacks of 2020, occasioned by the unexpected and unpleasant outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and the negative effects of the #EndSARS protests, which were hijacked by miscreants and hoodlums to unleash mayhem on the country, “pushing back all the efforts at economic recovery from COVID-19 challenge”.
