Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has earmarked a total of N795 million for gift items during festivals and children’s party, as well as hosting of state guests during special events.

Premium Times reported that the amount also covers donations to unspecified beneficiaries.

The figures were contained in the budget details passed by Ondo State House of Assembly on Monday, June 19.

The total budget passed by the house and signed into law is N170.1 billion.

The breakdown, which was published under Special Programmes in the 2017 estimates, has N500 million earmarked for “hosting of state guests during special events.”

A total of N136 million was also budgeted to cater for gift items during festivities and children parties, just as N160million will go for donations.

The state government has been battling to offset a backlog of seven months unpaid salaries left by his predecessor, Segun Mimiko, since it came into being in February.
