Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has presented a proposed budget of approximately N1.107 trillion for the 2027 fiscal year to the State House of Assembly, with education receiving the largest allocation.

The education sector is allocated N309.97 billion, representing 28 per cent of the proposed expenditure, making it the biggest beneficiary of the budget.

Infrastructure comes second with N221.4 billion, representing 20 per cent, while healthcare receives N166.05 billion, or 15 per cent.

The government has also earmarked N88.56 billion for water supply and rural development, representing eight per cent of the budget.

Agriculture receives N38.75 billion, equivalent to 3.5 per cent of the proposed expenditure.

Together, the five sectors will receive N824.73 billion, representing 74.5 per cent of the proposed budget.

The allocations indicate that the Yusuf administration has prioritised education, infrastructure and healthcare, which collectively account for 63 per cent of the proposed spending.

The budget proposal will now be subjected to legislative scrutiny by the Kano State House of Assembly before its eventual passage.

The governor had earlier urged members of the State Executive Council to ensure transparency and collective responsibility in preparing the fiscal plan, with the aim of consolidating existing projects and accelerating development across the state.
