Due to dwindling revenues and an ever falling oil price, Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has sent a bill to the State House of Assembly, seeking a downward review of the already signed 2015 appropriation budget to N127 billion.

Oshiomhole had last year signed the approved N159.3billion appropriation bill into law with a promise to ensure set out objectives in the budget are realised.

The lawmakers who would be having their last sitting on Thursday suspended some sections of the House Rules to enable them pass the reviewed budget.
