The Kano State House of Assembly is to receive the 2027 Budget Proposal from Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, for consideration and legislative scrutiny.
Speaker of the House, Honourable Jibril Ismail-Falgore, disclosed this during plenary after reading a formal communication from the governor notifying the Assembly of his intention to present the proposed budget.
In the letter, Governor Yusuf said the presentation was in fulfilment of his constitutional responsibility under Section 121(1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended.
He explained that the proposal contains the state’s projected revenue and expenditure estimates for the 2027 financial year, which would be submitted to the lawmakers for scrutiny, consideration and passage.
The Speaker informed members that the communication formally notified the House of the governor’s intention to present the budget on the scheduled date.
In another development, the Kano State House of Assembly has adopted a motion calling on the state government to urgently renovate the City Women’s Centre and the Agency for Mass Education facility located along Emir’s Palace Road, Kofar Nassarawa, in Kano Municipal Local Government Area.
The motion was moved by the member representing Kano Municipal Constituency, Nabil Aliyu Daneji.
Presenting the motion, Daneji said the facilities had deteriorated due to prolonged neglect, affecting their capacity to deliver essential services to women and adult learners in the area.
He noted that the continued deterioration of the centres was undermining efforts to promote education, vocational skills acquisition and economic empowerment.
The lawmaker stressed that renovating and upgrading the facilities would restore their functionality and enable them to serve their intended purposes.
After careful deliberations, the House adopted the motion and called on the Kano State Government to prioritise and undertake comprehensive renovation and upgrading of the City Women’s Centre and the Agency for Mass Education facility at Kofar Nassarawa.
The Assembly said restoring the facilities would improve access to educational opportunities, skills development and empowerment programmes for residents, particularly women and adult learners.
