Makinde presented the Appropriation Bill at the Parliament Building, Secretariat, Ibadan, in what will be his final budget presentation before the end of his second term in 2027.
The budget presentation comes amid a wave of resignations by political appointees and other officials in the state government, which has triggered political discussions across Oyo State.
Addressing the development, the governor said he was keeping count of those who had left his administration but insisted that their decisions would not affect his government’s direction.
Makinde also disclosed that a female official who resigned had approached him with what he described as an impossible request.
He said she tendered her resignation after he declined to grant the request.
The governor did not identify the former official or disclose the nature of the request.
The proposed ₦1.1 trillion budget is expected to guide the state’s spending priorities in 2027, the final year of Makinde’s administration.
