The Delta State House of Assembly has retained the state’s 2025 budget at N1.179 trillion despite the recent supplementary review, with lawmakers clarifying that adjustments did not increase the approved expenditure framework.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Tuesday sought the assembly’s approval for a revised 2025 supplementary budget comprising N510.9 billion recurrent and N669 billion capital expenditure.
The Speaker, Dennis Guwor, disclosed this on Friday during plenary, while reacting to the passage of the Revised Supplementary Appropriation Bill, 2025, and another amendment bill considered by members.
Mr Guwor explained that the supplementary appropriation aimed at realigning existing provisions to strengthen funding for priority projects and programmes without altering the overall size of the state’s budget.
He stated that the revised supplementary budget reflected the assembly’s commitment to ensuring that available resources were directed toward areas capable of delivering greater developmental impact across the state.
