Adeleke signs Osun 2026 N723.4bn appropriation bill into law

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on Monday signed the 2026 N723.4bn appropriation bill into law with a vow to ensure full implementation and with highlights of the deliveries of the last three years budgets.

Governor Adeleke said he signed into law the 2026 Appropriation bill to consolidate and expand governance and service deliveries in line with the five point agenda of his administration.

“Our administration has in the last three budget years laid solid foundation for the sustainable development of our dear state. We completed many abandoned projects and launched new ones. We paid billions of naira in pension and salary debt. We targeted workers welfare and approved and implemented payments of promotions arrears and paid many allowances which the previous government neglected. 

Speaking on the importance of Budget 2026, the governor said his team has resolved to consolidate our achievements across the sectors”, adding that “the year 2026 is a dual year of renewal of mandate and rolling out of a new agenda for the next four years. The consolidation for 2026 is a year of continuation, of further good governance and of continuity for sustainable governance. 

“2026 is a loaded era as an election year when by God and people, our mandate will be renewed. But we should not allow governance to suffer. We must multi-task. 

We promise Osun people full implementation of the new appropriation act. I charge each ministries and agencies to follow the established timelines for the budget execution. We will continue to focus on people's welfare and complete all ongoing projects and programmes”, the governor posited.

He expressed profound gratitude to Osun people and residents for their unshaken faith in our leadership, declaring “I am personally overwhelmed by the deep love prayers and support from all segments of our society. This strong goodwill strengthens our resolve to work only for public interest and public good. 

“I won't disappoint the mass of our people, the artisans, the workers, the labour movement, the youth, the students, the women, our royal fathers and opinion leaders. I remain faithful in service of the people, for the people and by the people”, Adeleke added.
