The governor while given the breakdowns of his presentation said ” I presented the State of Osun 2021 Budget Proposal of N109.85bn before honourable members of the State House of Assembly. The 2021 Appropriation Bill is christened ‘Budget of Providence’ with
the aim of rebuilding and stabilizing the economy of Osun post-Coronavirus era.

Our major focus is on infrastructure, education, youth development, healthcare, agriculture among other critical sectors.
In the current fiscal year, our admin embarked on massive infrastructural devt. which centres on citizens needs assessment. We’ll keep up with this drive in 2021.

The proposed Flyover is a 4–Span Bridge which has a total span length of 60m with each being 15metres. It has 196 meters approach ramp from Fakunle end, while that of MDS approach ramp is 99.95m, totalling 295.95m length of approach ramp. The total length of the Flyover Bridge is 335m.
In view of the role of our young people in Osun’s economic diversification agenda, we shall further involve them in the State’s socio-economic activities. Thus, we’re poised to vigorously promote the Youth Export Devt. Program (YEXDEP) to enhance Osun’s youth contributions to the nation’s non-oil export sub-sector.
In the proposed 2021 budget, we earmarked the sum of N1.48b for youth related activities which shall cover various youth empowerment programmes, Osun Micro credit revolving loan, Business support service credit scheme to artisans, entrepreneurship development programs, among others.”
