He said “The document, which is also referred to as the Economic and Fiscal Update, Fiscal Framework and Budget Policy Statement (EFU-FF-BPS) fulfils the requirements of the Fiscal Responsibility Law (2020) as amended.

“In line with international best practice and the desire of the State Government to ensure appropriate financial management and resource allocation, the 2021-2023 MTEF/FSP document, is the sixth rolling edition in the series.

“The document is the basis for the preparation of the 2021 budget and having been approved and adopted, it will be processed to the State House of Assembly for consideration and approval and for application in the preparation of the 2021 revenue and expenditure budget estimates of the State.”

He further said that the production of the MTEF/FSP (Economic and Fiscal Update, Fiscal Framework and Budget Policy Statement) marks the first step in the budget preparation cycle.

The Commissioner also disclosed that as part of the state government’s commitment to the growth of commerce in the riverine areas, Council approved N4 billion for the construction of Ogheye Ultra Modern Concrete Floating Market project in Warri North Local Government Area of the state.

Speaking further, the Information Commissioner said the State Executive Council, approved N809 million as counterpart fund for projects being handled by UNESCO and other global agencies, adding that N600 million was also approved as counterpart fund for the Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs projects.

He said that payment of counterpart funds would enable the state to access more funds, just as the state took advantage of counterpart funds from UBEC to revamp most primary and secondary schools in the state.

Aniagwu further said Exco also, approved the appointment of consultants to look at what the state is getting as 13 percent derivation with a view to reconciling probable shortfall from the federation account.

He said the decision to probe into the proceeds of oil derivation was part of measures to revive the state economy following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said: “There are instances where the Federal Government would say that they are paying subsidies. On such occasions, if the total amount is N100.00, for instance, and the government pays N40.00 for subsidies, they will now base the 13% derivation on N60.00 instead of the initial N100.00.

“This is what we want to reconcile, hence we are engaging the services of the consultants. If at the end of the day, nothing is discovered, the consultants will not be paid but if anything is realised, we will apply for refunds, and the consultants will be entitled to 11.5%,” he added.
