Monday Okpebholo statement reads: "Today, I presented the 2026 Appropriation Bill of  ₦939.85 billion to the Edo State House of Assembly, aptly named the Budget of Hope and Growth. This budget is built on the progress we recorded in 2025, stronger revenue performance and our clear commitment to people centered development under the SHINE Agenda

"In the outgoing year, security remained a top priority. We took decisive steps to ensure Edo did not become a safe haven for criminals through stronger laws, improved security logistics and the recruitment of 2,500 officers into the Edo State Security Corps. These actions significantly reduced insecurity and restored confidence across the state. We also recorded significant improvements in healthcare, infrastructure, agriculture and education. 

"The 2026 budget prioritizes infrastructure, health, education, agriculture and economic growth, with over 68% allocated to capital projects. From new roads and flyovers to upgraded schools, improved healthcare facilities, expanded agricultural investment and job creation initiatives, this budget is designed to touch lives, grow the economy and secure a better future for every Edo citizen. A New Edo Has Risen.
