Speaking on Tuesday, at the Government House in Katsina, Governor Radda praised the State House of Assembly for their swift passage of the bill.
“I commend the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Nasir Yahaya Daura, and all Honourable Members for their expeditious consideration of this critical bill.
“Your commitment to Katsina’s development is truly commendable,” he said.
The governor explained that the supplementary budget became necessary as several Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) had exhausted their initial capital allocations due to the scale of ongoing projects.
“This additional funding will ensure that we complete key infrastructure projects, improve healthcare facilities, and provide better water and education services to our people,” Radda added.
He further assured residents that the budget would be implemented with strict adherence to transparency and accountability.
“We are committed to using these resources wisely.
“Every kobo will be tracked to ensure it impacts the lives of our citizens positively,” he stressed.
During plenary, House Leader, Hon. Shamsuddeen Abubakar Dabai, commended the governor, noting that the supplementary request was timely given the volume of ongoing and completed projects.
He added, “Governor Radda’s performance has been outstanding.”
“The supplementary budget reflects a government that delivers on its promises,” Dabai said.
Other officials present at the signing included Hon. Ibrahim Dikko Matazu, Chief Whip of the House, and Hon. Lawal H. Yaro, Chairman of the Appropriations Committee.
They emphasized that the budget would accelerate development across Katsina State.
