1. EKITI STATE OF NIGERIA
PRESENTATION OF DETAILED ANALYSIS OF 2017
BUDGET BY THE HON. COMMISSIONER FOR BUDGET
AND ECONOMIC PLANNING, CHIEF GBENGA OLAJIDE ON
........................ 2017
Members of the State Executive Council,
Permanent Secretaries,
General Managers/Executive Secretaries,
Members of the Organised Private Sectors (OPS),
Members of Civil Society Organisations,
Gentlemen of the Press,
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen.
I am highly elated to present the detailed analysis of 2017 Budget of our State
to this august gathering. It will be recalled that the Budget was presented by His
Excellency, the Governor, Dr. Peter Ayodele Fayose to the Ekiti State House of
Assembly on 6th December, 2016 for necessary consideration. The 2017
Appropriation Bill was passed by the Honourable Members on 19th December, 2016
and it was signed into law two days later by His Excellency, the Governor, thus
making Ekiti the first to pass the 2017 Budget into Law.
2. You are all aware that one of the statutory responsibilities of my Ministry is the
presentation of the Analysis of each year’s Budget to the Stakeholders. The 2017
Budget is tagged “Budget of Consolidation and Higher Heights” because we believe

2. 2
that with God on our side, Ekiti State will be number one in all areas of our
endeavour.
3. The Budget size of N93,456,399,143.40 was presented to the Ekiti State House
of Assembly on 6th December, 2016 made up of N55,028,891,248.80 or 59%
Recurrent expenditure and N38,427,507,894.60 or 41% Capital Expenditure. After
due consideration, the House eventually passed a Budget size of N94,456,399,143.40
made up of N55,028,891,248.80 or 58% Recurrent Expenditure and
N39,427,507,894.60 or 42% Capital Expenditure. This is an increase of N1Billion from
the Budget size presented to the House of Assembly by His Excellency, the Governor.
I must state here that the increase became expedient due to the fact that additional
projects were conceived to be executed during the 2017 Fiscal Year to meet the
yearnings and aspirations of the good people of Ekiti State.

the Budget in tandem with the six (6) Cardinal Programmes of this Administration.
Also, workable plans and implementation strategies have been put in place to ensure

every community in the state, Market Women, Artisans and other interest groups with
a view to capturing their expectations and collective aspirations in the 2017 Budget

logically designed process that commenced with the preparation of the 2017-2019
Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) as constitutionally required by the
extant laws. The 2017 Budget which is derived from the MTEF is a product of
collaboration between the legislative and the Executive arms of Government aimed at
serving the good people of Ekiti sustainably better through effective and efficient
formulation and implementation of various Government’s Plans and Developmental
Programmes.
