Gov Sani signs N790.4bn 2025 budget in Kaduna

The Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, signed the state’s 2025 budget of N790.4 billion on Monday.

The governor had earmarked N551.5 billion as capital expenditure and N238.8 billion as recurrent spending respectively.

In his remark after signing the budget, the governor commended the Assembly for passing it within 10 days of its presentation.

He said: “Here in Kaduna State, I can say without fear of contradiction that we have the best House of Assembly in the country.

”If you look at the members, there are APC and PDP legislators but they have relegated politics and are only focusing on governance. For me, this is highly commendable.

‘’About 10 days ago, I was at the House of Assembly chambers where I presented our 2025 budget proposal.

”All the MDAs were invited and they defended their budgets. I was following the debate and I can say it was one of the most thorough budget defence in the history of Kaduna State.

”Apart from the budget, the number of motions, and bills they have sponsored, I can say that this is the best state Assembly in the country.

“As a former Senator who has the highest number of bills during the last Senate, I sponsored more than 32 bills, so there is nobody that can give our lawmakers that credit better than me.’’

Speaking earlier, the Speaker of the Assembly, Yusuf Liman, said the signing of the 2025 budget by the governor marked an important milestone in the activities of the Assembly.

He thanked Governor Sani for working closely with the Assembly to bring the direly needed dividends of democracy to the people of the state.
