dc.descriptionThis archival document contains the 1970-1971 Budget Speech delivered by His Excellency Ukpabi Asika, the Administrator of the East Central State of Nigeria, marking the state's first formal budget since its creation on May 27, 1967. Delivered shortly after the cessation of the Nigerian Civil War, the address functions as a critical policy framework centered on post-war rehabilitation, reconciliation, and infrastructural reconstruction. Asika outlines the severe economic devastation faced by the state, noting an extreme pauperization of the citizenry and massive damage to public infrastructure and institutions. A central pillar of this budget is a radical shift in educational policy. The state government announces the complete takeover and management of all primary and secondary schools from voluntary agencies, local councils, and private proprietors to establish a rational, integrated state school system.
