The Katsina State House of Assembly has approved an appropriation bill of N692.244 billion for the 2025 fiscal year. The bill was passed during a plenary session on Tuesday, presided over by Speaker Alhaji Nasir Yahaya-Daura.
Governor Dikko Umaru Radda had presented a budget of over N682.2 billion to the Assembly on November 25, 2024. However, during the budget defense, the appropriation committee identified a N10 billion omission, leading to the increase in the final approved amount.
