The Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umaru Radda, has signed into law the 2025 Supplementary Budget of N137 billion following its passage by the State House of Assembly.
The supplementary budget, which allocates N126.8 billion to capital expenditure and N10.2 billion to recurrent expenditure, is designed to sustain the administration’s aggressive infrastructure development and complete ongoing projects across the state.
This was contained in a statement issued to journalists in Katsina on Tuesday by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Radda, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed.
Speaking after signing the bill into law, Governor Radda expressed appreciation to the State House of Assembly for the expeditious consideration and passage of the supplementary estimates.
He said: “I commend the Honourable Speaker, Rt. Hon. Nasir Yahaya Daura, and all members of the Katsina State House of Assembly for their swift legislative action on this critical bill. Your commitment to the development of our state is truly commendable.”
He explained that the supplementary budget became necessary following requests from Ministries, Departments, and Agencies that have exhausted their capital allocations due to the pace and volume of projects being executed across the state.
The governor emphasized that the bulk of the supplementary allocation would be channeled toward completing ongoing infrastructure projects, including roads, healthcare facilities, schools, water supply systems, and agricultural support programmes.
He assured citizens that the supplementary budget would be implemented with the same transparency and accountability that has characterized his administration’s financial management.
