Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom state has listed good budgeting as one of the secrets of his administration’s monumental success since 2007.
The governor made the remark when he addressed members of senior executive course No.35 of 2013 from National Institute for policy and strategic studies (NIPSS).
Akpabio said since 2007, his administration’s budgeting ratio has remained 80% capital and 20% recurrent expenditure.
He noted that this policy has helped the state government to realise its vision of infrasructural revolution across the state.
The leader of the team and Director of Research, NIPSS, Prof.Olu Obafemi said the team was on a study tour of Akwa Ibom and five other states in the south.
Prof. Obafemi added that the study tour with the theme “Straightening institutional frameworks’ and the transformation agenda in Nigeria’’ was aimed at making Nigeria’s institutions stronger.
