APPROPRIATION C'TTEE CHAIR THANKS AKHA SPEAKER FOR HIS APPOINTMENT; TO HOST TWITTER HANGOUT THURSDAY


The Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly Committee Chairman on Finance and Appropriation, Honourable Dr. Usoro Akpanusoh has expressed deep appreciation to the Speaker, Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Onofiok Luke for finding him fit to Chair the House Committee.
Addressing assembly correspondents,Tuesday, shortly after the close of the budget defence exercise for the day, the Esit-Eket/Ibeno representative said he is appreciative of the Speaker for giving him and members of the committee the opportunity to serve in that capacity, and assured of the preparedness of the House of Assembly to give the people of the state a budget that would meet their yearnings.
He warned that ministries, departments and parastatals that fail to participate in the budget defence exercise may as well forget about having a budget for their department in the 2016 fiscal year, as the House of Assembly will not have them passed.
Meanwhile, the budget defense exercise which commenced on Monday at the assembly conference room, continues today with more ministries, parastatal, and agencies of government expected to appear before the Finance and Appropriation committee to defend their estimates.
Dr Usoro Akpanusoh will on Thursday host a social media hangout to explain and answer questions on the Budget proposal submitted to them by the Governor of Akwa Ibom State. The public is invited to join the conversation under the hashtag #AKS2016Budget on Twitter and Facebook.
