The Cross River House of Assembly has approved an upward review of the 2026 supplementary appropriation bill of the state to N963 billion.
The revised figure represents an increase of N1.45 billion from the earlier N961 billion provision, which translates to a 0.15 per cent rise.
The approval followed consideration of the report of the House Committee on Finance and Appropriation during the sitting of the assembly on Thursday.
Presenting the report, the committee Chairman, Cyril Omini, representing Yakurr II State Constituency, said that the review addressed additional financial requirements.
Mr Omini further said the adjustment was designed to achieve strategic objectives such as infrastructure capitalisation, counterpart funding, macroeconomic adjustments and social interventions.
