Delta postpones forum
In response to the tragedies that befell the nation last weekend, and in sympathy with the bereaved families, Delta State government has announced postponement of a stakeholders’ forum where it planned to present "Facts Behind the Figures (1999-2004).
The new date is November 10.
Commissioner for Finance David Edevbie who announced rescheduling of the forum, said the development was in line with the mood of the nation.
He described the two tragic incidents of the death of First Lady, Chief (Mrs) Stella Obasanjo and the air disaster, as a great loss to the nation.
He also conveyed condolences of people of the state to President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Federal government and families of the bereaved.
Facts-behind-the-figures is the platform through which the state has been exposing impressive developmental projects it has recorded between 1999 and 2004.
The first of its kin din Nigeria, the 372-page report, which comprises Volume One (Main Report) and Volume Two (Appendices), shows in detail how revenue received by the state since 1999 has been utilised.
The report gives a breakdown of Recurrent Expenditure (N167 billion) by Ministry and government department and capital expenditure (N144 billion) by local government areas and senatorial districts.
