ABIA STATE Q3 BUDGET EXPENSES: UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUES

Following the publication of the Q3 budget report of the Abia State Government, and in line with the government's commitment to transparency, good governance and fiscal discipline, it has become necessary to shed more light on the aforementioned report.

This is even more so when there are certain distorted reports on social media, alleging that the Abia State Government had spent close to One Billion Naira on feeding and welfare for the Governor's Office, within the period under review.

The accurate situation is that nothing in that region has been spent in the Governor's Office.

The facts are as stated below:

1. The total amount spent so far by the entire government of Abia State for Refreshments and Meals for the period is N223,389,889.84.

2. The figure above is as captured in all the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of government.

3. Please, NOTE that this figure is for the entire state and not for the Office of the Governor, as being erroneously portrayed.

4. The stated figure covers expenses for special events, such as retreats, conferences, and related events.

5. For welfare, the Abia State Government has so far spent the sum of N397,520,734.84.

6. The Welfare expenditure is in line with the State Fiscal, Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability Programme (SFTAS); an initiative of the Federal Government.

7. Also NOTE that the Welfare Expenditure covers all the Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and not just the Governor's Office, as wrongly alleged.

8. Expenses under Welfare deal with issues of Health, Rehabilitation and Public Emergencies.

The Abia State Government, under the leadership of Dr. Alex C. Otti, OFR, will continue to uphold transparency in governance, as has been demonstrated in the publication of the budget performance report for two consecutive quarters.

Thank you.

Abia government expresses commitment to Open Government Partnership initiative

Abia government has expressed its readiness to show increased commitment to the Open Government Partnership (OGP) initiative to promote good governance, transparency and accountability in the State.

The Commissioner for Budget and Planning, Mr Kingsley Anosike, made this known on Tuesday, during a meeting between Abia Open Government Partnership (OGP ) State and non-state actors in Umuahia.

Mr. Anosike said that the State government was poised to deploy all the available resources to ensure that OGP would be a huge successes in the State. According to him, since the inception of the present administration led by Governor Alex Otti, several reforms had been evolved to correct the anomalies in the system.

He said that this showed that the present administration's resolve to run a transparent and responsive government remains strong.

"OGP is a co-creation initiative aimed at improving governance, citizen participation in decision making process, fiscal transparency, anticorruption, and prudent usage of resources for the common good of all citizens.

"However, the OGP process is lead by the government and we are assembled here to show our commitment to this process.

"We view your visit as a testament to the efforts of this administration in strengthening transparency, accountability and probity in government.

"We assure you of our full cooperation in this partnership," Anosike said.

In a remark, Mr Lawal Amodu, the Programme Coordinator of African Center for Leadership Strategy and Development, said that OGP can be best described as a facilitator of good governance and socioeconomic development.

Mr. Amodu said that 25 States in the country had signed into OGP and were at different stages of implementation. He added that the team was in Abia to meet with state and non-state actors on better ways to move OGP forward in the State.

The National Civil Societies Adviser of OGP, Mr Uchenna Arisukwu, expressed dismay that OGP had been static in Abia since 2018, when it joined the programme. He said that "the oxygen of OGP is political will and support", and called on stakeholders to drive the state's OGP action plan and implementation proces to make the programme succeed.

He commended the Governor Alex Otti led administration for showing commitment to OGP by reviewing the State's action plan to align with its rebuilding agenda.

Also, Mr. Odinaka Eme, stressed the importance of NEEDS assessment as one of the basic tools in successful implementation of OGP and assured that the present administration is ready to work with international and multilateral platforms

The Co-Chair of Abia OGP Non-State Actors, Barr Agbonma Ukaobasi, reiterated the importance of OGP in governance process, adding that it is in line with global best practices. Barr. Ukaobasi appealed for cooperation between state and non-state actors, adding that the collaboration will be for the betterment of the people of Abia.

Nana Nwafor is an extension of PDP. It is very obvious. Nwafor is said to be a subject of investigation over alleged fraud and failed contracts. Some roads topping the list include the Unuaro/Ekwereazu road in Obingwa Local Government Area of the state.

Please recall that Governor of Abia, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu had recently ordered the contractor back to site after some portions of the road failed. The road only lasted for about six months – December 2018 to June 2019.

Ikpeazu his boss had expressed anger over the poor construction done on the road, which is currently the only route in and out of Aba from Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers States, due to complete failure of all federal roads linking the states.

Some other roads he did are: Adaelu Road, Omnee Road, Obikabia/Umuene Road, MCC/ Samek Rd, Ugwunagbor LGA road (5km), Umuode Road( 5km), Arumejije Rd ( 9.3km) Ntigha Rd, Itukpa Rd, Owerrinta/ Umuojima Rd ( 4km) and Dr Chima Nwafor by world bank police station road. Nana was reportedly paid 6 billion naira two months before PDP primaries.
