Hunye added that the ministry was committed to providing more micro-credit to cooperative societies and trade associations for enhanced business activities to promote self reliance, while mobilizing the CDAs, Cooperative Societies and trade associations as agents of grassroot development and economic empowerment. 

The Commissioner explained that a total sum of N971.1million had been set-aside in the budget , out of which N255.3million would cater for capital projects and the remaining N715.7million for recurrent expenditure, with expected revenue put at N34.4m.

Reeling out the 2022 Ministry's budget performance, Hunye, who said 64.7% revenue performance was achieved, reaffirmed that the Ministry would sustain the existing enabling environment for all stakeholders to effectively serve as bridge between the State, Local Government and the people to engender accelerated development in the State.
