Kano Government Reviews Budget Of N196.3 Billion For Citizens' Benefit

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has signed the 2022 appropriation bill of 221.2 billion Naira into law.

The governor earlier presented the sum of 196.3 billion Naira to the State House of Assembly for approval in October. However, the assembly reviewed the budget upward to 221.2 billion nairas.

This is despite the economic challenges the state is alleged to be suffering.

The governor, shortly after signing the document said the budget was meant to complete all ongoing major projects in the state, adding that the upward review is to cater for all socio-economic needs of people in the state.

Ganduje promised that the government would implement the budget by law, as it plans to give priority to the development of rural areas in the state.

The Speaker of Kano Assembly, Hamisu Chidari, informed Ganduje that the house had reviewed the budget upward by about 24 billion Naira.

“We had an interaction with MDAs, through that there were a lot of changes of increase in the amount provided for some projects.

“You know we had a public hearing where we collected so many inputs which attract some money.

“That is why when we concluded everything, there is an increase of about N24 billion to the budget,” he said.
