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.
He said that bulk of the supplementary allocation would be channelled toward completing ongoing infrastructure projects, including roads, healthcare facilities, schools, water supply systems and agricultural support programmes.
“The supplementary budget will be implemented with the same transparency and accountability that has characterised this administration’s financial management,” the governor said.
