The Kano State House of Assembly on Monday approved a ₦215.3 billion supplementary budget for the 2025 fiscal year.
The approval followed the adoption of a request submitted by Governor Abba Yusuf and read on the floor of the House during last week’s plenary session presided over by Speaker Jibril Falgore.
Presiding over the session, Falgore said the Assembly had carefully reviewed and debated the supplementary appropriation before passing it into law.
He assured that the legislature would ensure strict oversight of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to guarantee the judicious use of the funds.
“The House will continue to monitor the implementation of the supplementary budget to make sure that the money allocated is used strictly for the purposes intended,” he said.
The budget was passed after thorough deliberations by members of the Assembly.
The Majority Leader, Alhaji Lawan Husseini (NNPP–Dala), said the supplementary budget would be utilised for the running of newly established MDAs that were not captured in the original budget.
He added that part of the funds would also go towards school renovations, infrastructural development, and urban renewal projects.
With this approval, Kano State’s 2025 budget has now risen to over ₦935 billion.
The original budget, tagged “Budget of Hope, Human Capital, and Economic Development”, was presented to the House in November 2024 at ₦719.8 billion, with ₦457.08 billion earmarked for capital expenditure.
