Katsina’s Bold Budget Builds Futures | Nigeria News

Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda unveils a bold 2027 budget of 828.64 billion naira, front-loading 77% toward capital projects to rebuild infrastructure, education, farming, and healthcare — all chosen by local communities in a ward-based participatory process. While slightly smaller than last year’s, the “Building Your Future IV” plan prioritizes social and economic sectors, with early-year spending already hitting 295 billion naira — including major investments in schools, hospitals, fertilizer, and security. Despite progress, challenges like staff shortages, healthcare strain, and water access persist — but improved security is helping farmers return to their land. The State House of Assembly has received the proposal, promising swift passage, while the Speaker notes this will be his final budget presentation — signaling a smooth executive-legislative partnership as he transitions to a new role.
