Budget Of Hope; Says Ugbor, Urges Nigerians To Be Patience

Hon. Terseer Ugbor, Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on the Environment, has expressed optimism about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2025 budget. Ugbor described the budget as a “budget of hope,” highlighting the government’s focus on key sectors such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, and security.

According to Ugbor, these critical areas will drive economic growth and improve the lives of Nigerians, despite challenges posed by insecurity, climate change, and other regional issues. “This budget clearly sets high expectations for critical sectors that will directly benefit our people,” Ugbor said.

The 2025 budget allocates a record 4.7 trillion naira, the largest ever presented in the country’s history. Ugbor noted that the scale of this budget reflects the government’s unwavering commitment to the development agenda and the pressing needs of Nigerians.

Ugbor also commended the President’s efforts to ensure local government autonomy and constituency projects are fully funded.

“The President’s focus on local government autonomy is a critical step in ensuring that every Nigerian feels the impact of this budget,” Ugbor added.

He encouraged patience, reminding Nigerians that while President Tinubu has only been in office for 18 months, the impact of these reforms will become evident in due time. “We must be patient, as the fruits of these reforms will be seen at the grassroots level,” Ugbor advised.
