Katsina Governor Signs N897.8 Billion 2026 Budget, Emphasizes Development Projects

Katsina State Governor Dikko Umaru Radda signed the N897.8 billion 2026 budget into law, emphasizing a development philosophy in line with late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua's vision. The budget breakdown includes a significant allocation to the Ministry of Works, Housing, and Transport.

The state government aims to leverage digital innovation and community participation to enhance fiscal performance. Despite an increase in Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), it remains below the state's revenue potential.

The budget prioritizes capital projects across various sectors for sustainable development.
