Katsina State Prioritizes Capital Projects with Focus on Education and Agriculture
Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has officially signed the 2025 Budget of Building Your Future II into law, cementing his administration’s commitment to development and fiscal responsibility.
The N692.2 billion budget marks a modest increase of N10 billion from the initial proposal of N682.2 billion submitted on November 25, 2024. The adjustment, according to the Katsina State House of Assembly, reflects meticulous legislative scrutiny aimed at addressing the aspirations of the people.
Governor Radda, during the signing ceremony, praised the State Assembly and MDAs for their dedication, which he said ensured the production of a transparent and goal-oriented budget. He highlighted Katsina’s remarkable progress, noting that recurrent expenditure has been reduced to 22.8% of the total budget, down from 28% in 2024, allowing over 77% of the budget to be devoted to capital projects.
“Our focus on capital projects demonstrates our determination to make life better for our citizens and reduce poverty. Education leads our priorities, followed by agriculture, as these sectors are critical to building a self-reliant society,” Radda stated.
The Governor further emphasized the importance of oversight functions, urging legislators to sustain their efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in governance.
In his remarks, Speaker of the Katsina State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Nasir Yahaya Daura, described the budget as a product of rigorous legislative scrutiny. He commended Governor Radda for his developmental vision and expressed confidence that the 2025 budget will drive significant progress across the state.
The signing ceremony, attended by members of the State Executive Council and State Assembly, underscores the strong collaboration between Katsina’s legislative and executive arms in fostering good governance and development.
