Governor Radda Urges Timely Execution of 2027 Budget

Katsina State Governor Dikko Umar Radda has tasked the state's Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) with the timely and effective implementation of projects outlined in the N828.58 billion 2027 Appropriation Law, which he signed into law on a Wednesday evening. Radda emphasized that the MDAs must translate the budget into concrete projects for the citizens.

The budget was developed through a three-stage process, including consultations with citizens across 361 electoral wards, scrutiny of proposals by the MDAs in Radda's presence, and final approval by the Katsina State House of Assembly. The Speaker of the Assembly, Hon. Nasiru Yahaya Daura, presented the budget for assent, detailing that it includes N190,726,262,820.44 for recurrent expenditure and N637,852,581,271.03 for capital expenditure.

Radda noted the early passage of the budget as a significant improvement over the previous year's timeline, which saw the 2026 budget signed on November 17.
