According to Akpabio, the budget is a decrease of N22.644billion against the total revised appropriation of N419.785billion for the 2011 fiscal year.

The “Budget for Industrialisation”, Akpabio said, will derive its revenue from derivation N200. 132billion, Internal Generated Revenue (IGR) N21.646billion, Statutory Allocation N36billion and Value Added Tax (VAT) N6billion. Akpabio praised the House for the cooperation given to him, saying such has led to the uncommon transformation the state is experiencing.

ceomike: ![]() There will be a time when Akwa Ibom State is the most developed in all of Nigeria, if those who govern after Akpabio follow in his footsteps. |

Oh boy, see money ![]() What Akwa Ibom has going for it is its relatively small size and population in relation to its receipts, and its relative peace necessary for economic activities to thrive. On the flip side, it still has much to do completing on-going projects and starting new ones waiting in the wings. I'm really hoping the state does well in the next few years. It will spur on the neighbouring state governments to do better, as shame wouldn't let them slack seeing what their peer is doing across the border. |

Akwa Ibom should have the wealthiest citizen in Nigeria. Honestly, i think there should be some world class development going on in the state(All corners). The state lies on the coast of Nigeria and the population is relatively manageable with so much oil money! |
Re: Akwa Ibom Governor Presents N397.141b Budget For 2012 Financial Year by ektbear: 3:07am On Dec 07, 2011 |
Bayelsa also has plenty of oil money and a tiny population. Having oil money is not enough. You also have to have good leadership. Some will use oil money as an excuse to do 80% recurrent. Instead Akpabio is doing 20%. . . He isn't embarking on cheap useless populist ventures like free this, free that, free amala, etc, etc. Instead he is investing in the future of his people. [size=1pt](for any pedants, I realize that he is actually doing less than 20%.)[/size] |

ekt_bear: You wan talk about Bayelsa? Abeg that state na basket case (in more ways than one). Bayelsa together with Delta governments, are dark stains in the on-going story of the south-south. All things considered, i even rate little Ebonyi above Bayelsa, and that's saying something ![]() There's something to be said about a leaders feelings of optimism, pride and can-do spirit rubbing off on the people he's leading, as can be seen in the case of Akwa-Ibom. You don't see the same effect in the case of Bayelsa: the indigenes (taking a cue from their leader) look defeated, angry, clueless and just seem to be waiting for where the next hand-out will come from. There are hardly any worthwhile stories to be told in that state with regards to education, healthcare, road construction, tourism, etc. One positive though is that militancy seems to have been curtailed, but who takes the credit for that? More than a decade after it was created, Yenagoa still looks like a glorified local government headquater. And the indigenes sit there, maybe waiting for God to come down from heaven and effect the necessary change in government. Expect some mugus that have been settled with some bags of rice and bottles of ogogoro to troop out en masse on election day, chanting "Sylva na our man!!!". |

Nice move by the governor. If only GEJ could give us a budget with even 40 - 55% recurrent. Smh. |

Re: Akwa Ibom Governor Presents N397.141b Budget For 2012 Financial Year by EPOMA(m): 12:31pm On Dec 08, 2011 |
asorocker: Akpabio has done well in what area , why do we fall so easily to all this. The only way Akpabio can still big money is to divert all the money to capital project and then inflate the price of project by 500%. The people of Akwa Ibom still live in pure poverty and I have discussed this before in one of the topic. Salary still not paid since October becos of not agreeing to minimum wage |

EPOMA: Akwa Ibom has taken giant strides. The problem with Nigerians we have this pull them down syndrome. If the project is not in my village or managed by my brother then it is not good. when you see good changes acknowledge it and move on. I live in Lagos and work in Akwa Ibom, I can tell you the difference is clear. |
