 Kaduna Plans To Finance 2026 Budget Without Loans - Commissioner 


The Kaduna State Government has reaffirmed that it will not resort to fresh borrowing to finance its 2026 budget. The Commissioner for Planning and Budget, Hon. Mukhtar Ahmed Monrovia, said Governor Uba Sani has not taken any new loans since assuming office.


According to a statement issued by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Malam Ibraheem Musa, the 2026 budget will be funded through statutory allocations, Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), and grants.


The commissioner explained that reports suggesting otherwise stemmed from a misunderstanding of the loan drawdown component of the budget, prompting the need for clarification. 


He noted that while the state continues to draw from loans obtained by previous administrations, the current government has not contracted any new loans.


Hon. Monrovia added that cancelling existing loan agreements prematurely would attract penalties higher than the interest currently being paid, making continued servicing the more prudent option.


“Despite severe financial pressures, the administration of Malam Uba Sani has remained committed to servicing inherited loans, including both principal and accrued interest,” he said.


He emphasized that the government remains focused on prudent financial management and inclusive development, stressing that misinformation would not derail its agenda.


The commissioner also commended Governor Sani for aligning the fiscal year with the calendar year, noting that implementation of the 2026 budget began on January 1.


Governor Uba Sani signed the 2026 Appropriation Bill into law on December 22, 2025. The ₦985.9 billion budget allocates 25 percent to education, the largest share, reflecting the administration’s belief in education as a key driver of poverty reduction and sustainable development.

Out of the total budget, ₦698.9 billion (70.9 percent) is dedicated to capital expenditure aimed at infrastructure development, economic growth, and improved service delivery, while ₦287 billion (29.1 percent) is set aside for recurrent spending to ensure efficient government operations.
