Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has presented a proposed N1.107 trillion budget for 2027, earmarking 63 per cent for capital expenditure.
Tagged “Budget of Consolidating Gains and Accelerated Rural Development,” the proposed budget stands at N1,107,024,004,244.48 and marks the administration’s fourth and final budget of its first tenure.
Yusuf presented the proposal to the Kano State House of Assembly on Wednesday, saying it was designed to consolidate the administration’s achievements, complete ongoing priority projects and accelerate rural development before the end of its first tenure on May 29, 2027.
The budget provides N693.47 billion for capital expenditure, representing 63 per cent of the total, while N413.55 billion, or 37 per cent, is allocated to recurrent expenditure.
The governor said the capital-heavy structure reflects the administration’s focus on infrastructure expansion, human capital development and investments aimed at stimulating economic growth.
Kano is projected to generate N692.64 billion in recurrent revenue during the year, comprising N142.84 billion from internally generated revenue and N549.80 billion from the Federation Account.
Yusuf also said more than 90 per cent of the programmes, projects and policies contained in the administration’s development blueprint had been achieved.
He promised stronger budget monitoring, transparency and accountability to ensure effective implementation and value for money.
The governor subsequently submitted the 2027 Appropriation Bill to the House of Assembly for legislative consideration and passage.
