Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration released N3 billion for capital projects of the Oyo State Security Network Agency and Amotekun Corps in the first half of 2026. Still, it made no expenditure on the agency’s overhead despite budgetary provisions, a review of official budget documents by PREMIUM TIMES has shown.
The findings are contained in Oyo State’s 2026 Second Quarter Budget Performance Report, which also showed that the agency received ₦1.84 billion for personnel costs over the six months.
The report showed that the agency recorded a capital expenditure performance of 53.1 per cent, having spent ₦3 billion of its ₦5.66 billion capital allocation between January and June.
However, although the agency had an overhead budget of ₦200 million for the year, no expenditure was recorded under that category.
The spending pattern follows continuing security challenges in Oyo and across parts of the country, with state governments investing in security infrastructure to complement federal security agencies.
