Gov. Yusuf to present Kano’s 1st ever N1 trillion budget for 2026
Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State, says his administration is finalizing arrangements to present the state’s first-ever ₦1 trillion budget for 2026.
This is contained in a statement issued on Friday by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
Dawakin Tofa said that Yusuf made the announcement while declaring open the Second Special Executive Council Meeting convened to deliberate on the 2026 budget, ahead of the formal presentation to the Kano State House of Assembly next week.
He said that the historic budget size reflected his administration’s resolve to consolidate ongoing massive infrastructure development, urban renewal projects, and broad socio-economic expansion across the state.
Yusuf said the significant rise in the budget was a direct result of improved Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and the successful blocking of financial leakages within the system.
“Our administration has strengthened internal revenue mechanisms and sealed leakages, which now allows us to plan boldly for transformative projects in 2026,” the Governor stated.
Yusuf said that the 2026 budget would prioritize housing development, agriculture, education, healthcare, as well as support for small and medium enterprises—strategic areas aimed at stimulating economic growth and creating sustainable livelihoods for Kano citizens.
The Governor reaffirmed his commitment to transparency, fiscal responsibility, and equitable resource allocation to ensure all sectors receive adequate support for effective service delivery.
