The Sokoto State House of Assembly has successfully passed the N270.1 billion budget for the fiscal year 2024. The decisive moment came following the adoption of the report presented by the House Committee on Finance and Appropriation during Wednesday's plenary session.
In the presentation of the report, Alhaji Abdullahi Zakari (APC-Rabah), the Committee Chairman, emphasized that the N270 billion budget submitted by Governor Ahmed Aliyu remained unchanged. The budget structure comprises N97.8 billion for recurrent expenditure and N172.2 billion for capital expenditure.
Chairman Zakari reassured that these figures align with the governor's original submission. However, in response to legitimate requests from Sub-Committees, adjustments were made to allocate resources to meet essential demands and interests of the people.
Subsequently, the Speaker, Alhaji Tukur Bala, presented the report for consideration, and it received unanimous approval from the lawmakers through a voice vote.
