Governor Uba Sani has signed the 2025 budget of ‘Sustaining Transformation and Inclusive Development’, 10 days after he presented the draft proposal to the Kaduna House of Assembly.

The budget focused on rural development, and the total sum is N790,439,580,083.

The sums earmarked for capital expenditure and recurrent expenditure are N551,582,867, 194 and N238,856,712,888.86, respectively.

After signing the budget on Monday, the governor commended the assembly for the speedy passage of the budget within 10 days of presenting the proposed appropriation bill.

The governor said the legislature had invited all the ministries, departments and agencies to defend their budget proposals, and the sessions were robust.

He said, “But at the end of the day, the 2025 budget was passed. ’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 relegated politics and are only focusing on governance. For me, this is highly commendable. About ten days ago, I was at the House of Assembly chamber, 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 defence in the history of Kaduna state.”

Mr Sani expressed delight that the legislators passed the appropriation bill within ten days, saying, “This is something that 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 has the highest number of bills during the last senate, I sponsored more than 32 bills, so there is nobody that can give our lawmakers that credit better than me.”
