Edo State 2026 Budget of Hope and Growth: A Clear Path to Renewal and Prosperity

 

With the presentation and signing of the ₦939.85 billion 2026 Budget of Hope and Growth, His Excellency, Sen. Monday Okpebholo has firmly positioned Edo State on a new and purposeful development path.

Far beyond figures, this budget reflects a bold, people-centred strategy anchored on the SHINE Agenda; Security, Healthcare, Infrastructure, Natural Resources & Agriculture, and Education. It redefines budgeting as a tool for real change, focusing on fixing structural gaps, unlocking economic opportunities, and restoring confidence in governance.

By prioritising massive infrastructure renewal, job creation, and social services, the Governor is deliberately laying the foundation for inclusive growth and long-term prosperity across urban and rural communities.

At the heart of the budget is a visionary understanding that development must touch lives directly.

Historic investments in roads infrastructure, healthcare facilities, education, agriculture, and employment signal a decisive shift from short-term fixes to sustainable solutions. From rebuilding a collapsed healthcare system and recruiting thousands of teachers, to expanding agricultural production, empowering traders, and strengthening institutions through transparency and accountability, the Okpebholo administration is translating vision into action.

The 2026 Budget of Hope and Growth clearly shows a Governor who is focused, strategic, and ready to lead Edo State into a future defined by opportunity, equity, and measurable progress for all.
