The Kano State House of Assembly has approved a supplementary budget of ₦99 billion after a third reading during plenary on Thursday.

The budget was initially presented by Governor Abba Yusuf on August 27, and was passed by the lawmakers to address key areas of development in the state.

In his submission of the proposal, Governor Yusuf emphasized that the supplementary budget is aimed at addressing the needs of the people, with a strong focus on infrastructure, human capital development, and improving health and education.

“This supplementary budget is not just about increasing spending; it’s about ensuring that we meet the needs of our people. We are focused on infrastructural development, enhancing human capital, and making significant improvements in the health and education sectors,” Yusuf said.
