Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has enacted the N790 billion 2025 budget titled ‘Sustaining Transformation and Inclusive Development.
The overall budget stands at N790,439,580,083, emphasising rural development. Capital expenditures are set at N551,582,867,194, while the recurrent expenditures total N238,856,712,888.86.
While addressing the audience after the budget signing on Monday, the Governor praised the Kaduna State House of Assembly for their prompt approval of the 2025 budget, accomplishing this remarkable feat in just ten days following its introduction.
He mentioned that the legislature had summoned all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to present and justify their budget proposals. Despite the sessions being intense, the 2025 budget was successfully approved.
“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 put politics aside and are solely focused on governance. For me, this is highly commendable.
“About ten 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 defences in the history of Kaduna State. The legislators passed the appropriation bill within ten days. This is something I will continue to be proud of. Apart from the budget, the number of motions and bills they have sponsored, I can say that this is the best state assembly.
“As a former Senator who had the highest number of bills during the last Senate, having sponsored more than 32 bills, there is no one who can give our lawmakers more credit than me,” he said.
