“It is gratifying to note that over 80% of our administration’s blueprint has been successfully implemented, touching nearly every sector and delivering measurable impact on the lives of our people,” he said.
Governor Yusuf added that the budget presentation comes at “a critical juncture that demands renewed urgency and focused implementation as we race against time to fully deliver on the promises we made to the good people of Kano State.”
According to him, the 2026 budget is more than a financial plan—“it is a covenant and a commitment to consolidate gains, complete key projects, and build systems that will serve generations to come.”
