By Muhammad Goronyo, Sokoto

Despite myriad of Economic challenges occasioned by the outbreak of COVID-19, Global Economic meltdowns and security challenges that have dogged the smooth administration of States recently, Sokoto state Government has remained steadfast in Fiscal discipline, Monthly Payment of staff entitlements and provision of Critical Infrastructure.

The statement by S.A media to the Governor, it said Aminu Waziri Tambuwal stated this at budgIT’s annual event in Abuja, geared towards enhancing financial probity among States of the Federation.

According to the Governor, “much of what is being done in the state in terms of Economic reforms are intended to ensure Fiscal Discipline, Transparency and Accountability as well as diversify the state’s economy for the common good of its citizens.”

Gov. Tambuwal, who was represented by the state’s Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Hon. Bashir Gidado, enumerated some of the achievements of his administration in the last six years as; Adoption of Open Governance Partnership, Domestication of the World Bank’s States Fiscal Transparency, Accountability, and Sustainability (SFTAS) program (Which placed the state ahead of others in the country), Establishment of State Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC), and Granting Autonomy for State and Local Government Auditors General.

He also said his administration’s Ease of Doing Business Program fetched it a second position ranking in the federation.

He added that in order to consolidate on the gains recorded by its frugal fiscal discipline, the State Government rolled out a State Development Plan that will be propelled by Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Medium Term Sector strategy.

The state, noted the Governor, “also adopted the Charter of Accounts in our budgeting process, established a state Geographical Information System (SOGIS) for Land Administration, restructured the State Board of Internal Revenue Service and established a One-Stop Shop for Business permits, registration, certification and information seeking from Federal and State Agencies under one roof.
