The Director-General of the Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency (DSCTDA), Mr. Patrick Ukah, on Tuesday led the Agency’s management team to the Delta State House of Assembly, where he presented the 2025 Budget Performance Report and defended the Agency’s 2026 budget proposal.
The engagement took place during an interactive session with the House Committee on Capital Territory Development, which reviewed the Agency’s financial performance, project implementation, and development priorities.
In his presentation, Mr. Ukah outlined key achievements recorded in the 2025 fiscal year, noting significant progress in urban renewal, infrastructure upgrades, environmental management, and other initiatives aimed at improving the efficiency, aesthetics, and overall functionality of the state capital territory.
Committee members scrutinised the Agency’s expenditure profile, budget implementation levels, and project delivery outcomes, while also assessing the alignment of DSCTDA’s programmes with the state government’s development agenda.
The session allowed lawmakers to seek clarifications on ongoing and proposed projects across the capital territory.
Defending the 2026 budget proposal, the Director-General underscored the need for sustained investment to consolidate ongoing projects, tackle emerging development challenges, and ensure the timely execution of priority interventions.
Ukah reaffirmed the Agency’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and prudent management of public resources, stressing that the proposed 2026 budget is structured to deepen service delivery and fast-track the transformation of the state capital territory.
