Participatory budget appropriation; Onofiok Luke’s example BY JOSEPH OKON

Participatory budget appropriation; Onofiok Luke’s example


It is universally true that some people will always want to contribute their best, either ideas or in kind, to the development of their societies.

Barr. Onofiok Luke is one of those that like contributing his quota, in whatever way positive, to his society. Perhaps, this kind of notion may have informed the elaborate budget briefings organized by him in his capacity as the member representing Nsit Ubium State Constituency in the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly. It is in recognition of the tenets of democracy that this lawmaker who doubles as the Chairman House Committee on Finance and Appropriation consistently, since 2012, made the State budget a peoples centered budget and allow all interested parties, groups, organizations civil society groups associations, and others concerned about development of the State to participate and contribute their ideas and opinions on what the State budget should focus on.
