The Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has condemned the 2025 budget, which was just passed and signed into law by the state governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Recall Aiyedatiwa signed the 2025 appropriation bill of a sum of N698,659,496,000 into law, a week after the state House of Assembly had passed a sum of N698,659,496,000 budget into law for the fiscal year.
Out of the sum, a total of N265,037,496,000 was earmarked for recurrent expenditure, while N433,622,000,000 was allocated for capital expenditure.
However, the opposition party has described the budget as a budget of looting as it disclosed that the government budgeted N11.5 billion to the state ministry of finance as a ‘security vote’, while other ministries were allocated less amount, particularly Ministries of Education and Health.
