The Kebbi State 2026 Appropriation Bill of N642.9 billion has been signed into law on Tuesday by Governor Nasir Idris sequel to the passage of the budget by the Kebbi State House of Assembly.
Governor Idris assented to the budget at Government House, Birnin Kebbi, sequel to the presentation of the document by Alhaji Usman Muhammad-Zuru, the Speaker of the Kebbi State
House of Assembly.
The governor appreciated the speaker as well as the honorable members of the Kebbi House of Assembly for their timely and expeditious consideration and consequent approval of 2026 budget estimate.
“I am the happiest person. This government truly belongs to the people of the state. Whatever we do is done in the best interest of the people.
“We are working harmoniously with the State House of Assembly to move the state forward and take it to greater heights, in line with people-oriented governance.
“We will also work closely with the assembly to boost Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), given the fact that federal allocations alone are insufficient to meet the needs of our people.
“People should understand that a budget is not physical money at hand; rather, it is a projection of expected revenue, either from IGR or federal allocations,” he said.
