Makinde Presents 2027 Budget Today

Preparations are building up at the Oyo State House of Assembly, Parliament Building, Secretariat, Ibadan, ahead of the presentation of the state’s 2027 Appropriation Bill.

The presentation is expected to attract government officials, lawmakers, guests, and other stakeholders to witness the unveiling of the proposed budget for the 2027 fiscal year.

As at the time of filing this report, lawmakers and guests were gradually converging on the venue, while top government functionaries had also begun arriving for the event.

Among those who had arrived were the Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Barrister Bayo Lawal; the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Musibau Babatunde; the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Akinwale Akinwole; and commissioners overseeing the Ministries of Information, Culture and Tourism, Works and Transport, and Health.

Other political appointees and government officials were also arriving at the Assembly complex as preparations continued ahead of the formal proceedings.

The gathering is still awaiting the arrival of the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Adebo Ogundoyin, and Governor Seyi Makinde, whose presence is expected to precede the budget presentation.

The 2027 budget presentation is particularly significant, as it will be the last appropriation bill presented by Governor Makinde during his administration.

The proposed estimates are expected to outline the government’s revenue projections, expenditure plans, and development priorities for the 2027 fiscal year, with likely attention to key sectors, ongoing projects, and programmes planned for the final year of the administration.
