Ebonyi State government says the latest rating by BudgIT has confirmed that Governor David Umahi’s administration is cautious in management of state finances.
The State Commissioner for Commerce, Industry and Business Development, Stephen Odo, said the ranking is a confirmation of consistency and adequacy of the state government policy.
Odo noted that the state under Umahi’s watch is driven consciously by the zero oil campaign and local content policy which encourages increase in local production, consumption and utilization of both human and material resources.
The Commissioner maintained that the rating will restore the confidence of the public in the governance process of Ebonyi.
