Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, will present the proposed 2027 budget to the state House of Assembly on Wednesday.

The governor disclosed this during the State Executive Council meeting held on Sunday, where he urged commissioners to actively participate in reviewing the proposed budget ahead of its presentation.

This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad.

“I call on members of the council to uphold collective responsibility, transparency and effective governance in the preparation of the fiscal plan.

“I urge commissioners to thoroughly examine the budget proposals for their respective ministries, departments and agencies and make contributions to ensure an inclusive fiscal plan,” Yusuf said.

The governor directed the Commissioner for Planning and Budget to coordinate the discussions, while other commissioners were tasked with reviewing their respective portfolio proposals.

During the meeting, Yusuf also welcomed the newly sworn-in commissioners into the State Executive Council and assured them of the administration’s support.

“I’m calling on the existing cabinet members to extend friendship, understanding and cooperation to the new commissioners to strengthen teamwork and improve service delivery,” he urged.

The governor expressed optimism that the 2027 budget would build on the achievements recorded under the 2026 fiscal year and accelerate development across the state.

He described the proposed budget as an instrument for consolidating existing achievements and promoting sustainable development in Kano.

Yusuf also appreciated members of the press for their continued support and professionalism.
