Governor Seyi Makinde has lambasted the former Governor Abiola Ajimobi-led government for handing down an unrealistic 2019 budget to the tune of N280 billion. Makinde, who spoke during a media chat on the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State to mark his first month in office, said many projects in the current budget handed over by the Ajimobi government had contracts only awarded on paper. I asked where they want us to get the deficit, they said most of those contracts awarded are on paper. “You see in the budget that a certain road is included but there is no monetary provision for the road. “Once we transform those packs, there will be a binding law to enforce compliance to loading inside parks,” Makinde added.
