« The budget which is lower than that of 2018 is expected to take care of recurrent expenditure and also expected to address all ongoing capital projects across the state, » he said.
The governor had earlier, assented to the state Health Insurance Scheme bill to address health needs of the state workers.
Speaker of the Assembly, Mr Francis Nwifuru had earlier extolled the prudent management of resources accruing to the state by the Umahi-led executive.

The speaker urged his colleagues to cooperate in giving accelerated hearing to the budget, to enable the governor continue with his developmental strides across the state.
