Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State is set to present the 2024 budget to the State House of Assembly today, Monday, December 4, 2023, at the Assembly Complex, starting at 10 am.
Ismaila Uba Misilli, Director-General (Press Affairs), Gombe Government House, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
According to the statement, the State Government has taken steps ahead of the presentation to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive budget formulation process by holding a town hall meeting where it gathered the insights, desires, and aspirations of the citizens for integration into the budget framework.
The statement noted that the citizens’ engagement was hosted by the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development.
It added that traditional rulers, community leaders, members of civil society organisations and people with special needs among others, participated in the consultative meeting.
Misilli added that the proposed budget underwent rigorous assessment and discussion by the Gombe State Executive Council.
According to him, Governor Inuwa’s budget presentation today is a culmination of concerted efforts and a reflection of transparency, public participation, and governmental diligence in addressing the state’s fiscal priorities for the upcoming year.
[…] He called on the State House of Assembly to scrutinize the budget and provide constructive insights for enrichment, promising a Gombe State that is all-inclusive, prosperous, resilient, and forward-looking. […]
[…] In another development, the House passed a resolution to issue a reminder letter to the members of the National Assembly representing Gombe North.

The federal lawmakers representing Gombe North are urged to advocate for its swift implementation in both the red and green chambers. […]
