The Kaduna State House of Assembly, on Wednesday, approved N207.2 billion supplementary budget for the 2024 fiscal year.
The legislation followed the adoption of a report by Yunusa Shehu, chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation and Implementation.
Mr Shehu said the estimate included N40.9 billion recurrent expenditure and N166.3 billion capital expenditure.
He said the legislators approved the third supplementary budget for 2024 to enable the government to continue executing viable projects in the state.
The chairman said it would also facilitate payment of the new national minimum wage to workers by the end of November.
Earlier, a bill to establish the College of Agricultural Technology, Samaru Kataf and another bill seeking provision for women’s representation in public and private offices passed second reading, respectively.
The speaker, Yusuf Dahiru, referred the bills to the appropriate committees and directed them to submit their reports to the house on November 19.
