The proposed budget allocates N176.3 billion for recurrent expenditure and N349.4 billion for capital projects, with capital expenditure making up 66% of the total budget, underscoring the administration's commitment to infrastructure development.


The education sector received the highest allocation, approximately 25% of the total budget, followed by health, agriculture, and works. The governor further revealed that 44% of the budget would cover recurrent costs, including the new N70,000 minimum wage for state workers, pension payments, and other operational expenses.


Governor Aliyu assured civil servants that the new wage would be implemented from January 2025 and expressed gratitude for their ongoing support. He also confirmed that his administration has not incurred any loans from financial institutions to fund projects, stating that there are no outstanding debts to contractors.


While reflecting on the achievements of the 2024 budget, the governor acknowledged ongoing security challenges in certain local government areas, but reiterated his administration's commitment to economic growth and addressing security concerns. He stressed the importance of collaboration between security forces, traditional rulers, religious leaders, and other stakeholders to address these issues and foster development in the state.
