ENUGU—ENUGU State 2017 Appropriation Bill of  N105,719,471,000.00, was, yesterday, passed into law by the Enugu State House of Assembly.

When accented into law by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the budget estimate will now be a working document for the fiscal year.

Ugwuanyi on December 23, 2016 presented the budget tagged, “Budget of economic recovery and inclusive development,” at the floor of the House for consideration.

The passage of the budget followed a presentation of the report on the Appropriation Bill by Bismark Eneh, Udi South Constituency.

Eneh said his committee did a thorough job and that most government agencies took their presentations during budget defence serious, hence the quick passage of the appropriation bill.
