With the passage by the House, the budget will now be transmitted to Governor Yusuf for assent, as stipulated by law.
In another development, the Kano State House of Assembly held a valedictory session in honor of Aminu Sa’ad (Ungogo) and Sarki Aliyu Danaji (Kano Municipal), who passed away in active service on Wednesday, 24th December 2025.
During the session, Speaker Falgore described the deaths of the two lawmakers who passed away hours apart as a grievous blow to both the Assembly and the state.
