INTRODUCTION For the first time in Oyo State, Oyo State government held a Stakeholders‟ consultative meeting with the people of Igboora. This was geared towards reflecting and making their input into the 2021 budget of Oyo State. The engagement was facilitated by Oyo State Ministry of Budget and Economic planning where we had in attendance, the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly; Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin an indigene from the zone; who represented the Executive Governor of the State, Engr. Seyi Abiodun Makinde. Together with the Speaker were the Clerk of the House; Ms Foluke Oyediran and Hon. Peter Ojedokun; representing Ibarapa Central/North. The Executive members present were the Hon. Commissioner for budget and Economic Planning for the State; Barrister Adeniyi Farinto, the Hon. Commissioner for Youth and Sport; Hon. Seun Fakorede. Others are Dr. M. Adetunji Babatunde; Special Adviser to the Governor on Economic Affairs, Mr. Oluwaseyi Ogunsanya; Senior Special Assistant on Economic Planning, Mrs. M. O. Adebiyi; the Permanent Secretary; Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning. The Chairman, Water Cooperation of Oyo State Dr. Adepoju was not left out.
Some of the people also present at the meeting were the Directors from the Local Governments (LGs), traditional rulers from Ibarapa North, Ibarapa East and Ibarapa Central, the Iya loja of Ibarapaland; Mrs. Tina Ogundoyin, religious leaders (Christians and Muslims), representative of the Community Development Council (CDC), the youth, People Living With Disability (PLWD), Artisans and community members.
The meeting commenced with the National Anthem and that of the State at exactly 12:15pm while the opening prayer was said by reciting the second stanza of the National Anthem. The welcome remark was made by the Honourable Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning. The Commissioner recognises the distinguished members including the Speaker whom he described as wearing to caps: as the representative of the Governor and himself; as a son from the zone. He equally recognised other sons from the region including Mr Seun Fakorede and Hon. Peter Ojedokun. He also acknowledged the presence of Directors of different sectors, the traditional rulers present among others.
In his remark, the commissioner emphasised on the promise of the Executive Governor to consult the people in the State before the preparation of the State fiscal budget, during the implementation and after to assess the performance of the MDAs and the Government as a whole. Hon. Farinto flashed back the memories of the audience on the same exercise the previous year where the consultative meetings were held in the three senatorial districts: Oyo North, Oyo Central and in Oyo South where the needs of the people which were presented by 26
the people were equally mainstreamed into the ongoing 2020 budget of the State; hence the need to do same for 2021 budget. The Commissioner recalled the pressure from the Speaker and other stakeholder on what his Ibarapa people stands to benefit in the long-run. According to him, the stakeholders‟ meeting has become a yearly activity in the course of preparing the State budget. This year‟s exercise was been held in the seven (7) geo-political zones in the State which includes this ongoing consultative meeting that is the three Ibarapas. In addition, the remaining two zones; Oyo and Iseyin would round off the remaining zones for all the seven zones scheduled for the meeting. The commissioner enjoined the people present at the programme to seize the opportunity to present their needs as it will benefit the entire people in the region as against personalising the needs.
Hon. Peter Ojedokun in his goodwill message regarded the day as a unique; a day to present their need into the proposed 2021 State budget. The Hon. called the attention of the stakeholders to also look into the means of generating income which is always left for the government as against been a collective responsibility.
The Commissioner for Youth and Sport; Hon. Seun Fakorede in his Goodwill message, appreciated the present government headed by His Excellency, Engr. „Seyi Makinde for the opportunity to consult the people as against the previous governments. He stated that despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the present government deemed it fit to do the needful; hence the people should use the ample opportunity judiciously. The view of the Chairman, Water Cooperation of Oyo State, was not quite similar to that of the Commissioner for Youth and Sport. The Chairman added that the purpose of the presentation should be for the benefit of the people and most especially to the development of the seven Ibarapa (Ibarapa me jeje). The representative of all the Chairmen of all Local Governments (LGs) from the zone, represented by Hon. Gbenga Obalowo representing Ibarapa East appreciated the Executive Governor of the State, for not imposing projects and programmes on the people in the State. Despite the existence of the COVID-19, the Governor still consider consulting the people for their input into the 2021 budget, hence the people should do the needful based on the opportunity that comes their way.
The Onilanla of Lanlate, on behalf of other traditional rulers in his expected goodwill message went straight to present the needs of traditional rulers in the area. The traditional ruler started by requesting for an upward review of the 5% allocation given traditional rulers in the State. According to him, the allocation is too small. Other sector of concern was on the issue of health with focus of the inability of our Primary Healthcare centres to meet the needs of the people. According to him, no enough medical staff, no drugs and the environment of most centres are in bad situation. Also, the Palaces of traditional rulers need to be improved to the expected standard of others rulers in the State. The benefit of “Light up Oyo State” which is being enjoyed by the capital of the State; Ibadan, should spread to the benefit of the people in Ibarapa.
In the keynote address by the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly; Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin on behalf of His Excellency, Engr. „Seyi Makinde the State governor emphases on how important people are in terms of ensuring strong democracies-government. The Speaker thereafter presented the Speech on behalf of the Governor.
At this juncture, representative different stakeholders from the council areas (LGs and LCDAs) were given the opportunity to present their needs for the 2021 budget. Barrister 27
Adeniyi Farinto; the Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning realized that it appears the people were not fully prepared to present their needs as they were reluctant to come out for their presentation. He however gave his assurance that in case there are gaps or inability to harmonize their needs, the government will give them one week to submit their need to the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning.

It was at this juncture that address to submit to was made known:
The Honourable Commissioner, Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, Finance Building, Secretariat, Ibadan Email: [email protected] Phone Number: 08086122641
PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITY (PLWD): Talitu Kasali . Establishment of the physically challenged Commission . The government should provision wheel chairs .

TRADITIONAL RULERS: ONIDERE OF IDNERE . Need to repair Ayiete road, Awha road close to Idenre . All community roads . It is important to look into the revenue side of the budget. According to him, tourism is one of the most important means to achieving this. Hence the Idnere government should look into this direction. Also, are our market places. If the markets are in good condition where there are toilet and regular clearing of refuse, it will serve as income generation to the State and Local governments . The mentioned Dams are equally inclusive as there could serve as revenue for the government. . He also irritated on the 5% allocation to the traditional leaders which he regarded as been too small. He added that the percentage was not even from the Gross but from the Net. Even, as the allocation is from the Net, the payment is not even regular.
OLERU OF ILU TAPA . Those serving as Adoc-hoc staff in the Education sector and the Health sector should be made permanent staff as they have shown their loyalty and dedication while on their job as volunteers in some cases. According to him without political campaign the government stands the opportunity to win because these crops of people will even do the needful for the benefit they most have achieved.
OLU OF IGBOORA . He irritated the view of others but added that there is need to visit the increasing rate of out of school children which is alarming and has started affecting the development communities and the society as a they grow up.

On the issue of farm settlement, the Commissioner stated that a sum of N7.6 Billion had being approved for this. He promised that by the first quarter of 2021the people will feel the impact of the government than before. In addition, On the issue of the 5% allocation to traditional rulers, the Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning said the allocation is according to what is in the constitution of the Federal Republic 1999 ( as Amendment); hence it goes beyond the State government. However, the traditional leaders could write to His Excellency informing him on the matter and at the same time, the suggestion of empowerment to traditional ruler also be looked into.
In in his own contribution the Commissioner for Sport; Hon. Seun Fakorede, stated that work had commenced six weeks ago at Adamasigba stadium which would cost 5.5 Billion. The Governor is also working towards other stadia such as the one in Eruwa, Oyo, Ogbomoso including the Olubadan stadium where the work would soon commence. According to Hon. Seun Fakorede, the contractors have been mandated to use people within the community where the stadia were established as against importing people from other states of country. On the issue of tourism as a means to generate revenue, he referred to the action of the Commissioner for Information and Tourism led a team of expertise to Idenre a day before. The essence was to look into how the available facility on how it could boost the economy of the State compare to the current situation. 30
The Chairman, Water Cooperation of Oyo State was not left out. In his response, he acknowledged the people for their know-how on the available dams and the opportunity therein. He promised that more will be done as some parts in Ibarapa East had started enjoying potable water.
