The Kano State House of Assembly is set to receive the 2027 budget proposal from Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, for consideration and legislative scrutiny.
The Speaker, Jibril Ismail-Falgore, announced this during plenary after reading a letter from the governor notifying the House of his intention to present the proposal in line with Section 121(1) of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.
The proposed budget contains the state’s projected revenue and expenditure for the 2027 financial year and will be presented to lawmakers for consideration and passage.
In another development, the Assembly has called on the Kano State Government to urgently renovate the City Women’s Centre and the Agency for Mass Education facility along Emir’s Palace Road, Kofar Nassarawa, in Kano Municipal.
The motion, sponsored by the member representing Kano Municipal Constituency, Nabil Aliyu Daneji, highlighted the poor condition of the facilities due to prolonged neglect.
Daneji said the deterioration had affected the centres’ ability to provide educational, vocational and empowerment services, particularly for women and adult learners.
Following deliberations, the lawmakers adopted the motion and urged the state government to renovate and upgrade the facilities to restore their operations and improve access to education, skills acquisition and empowerment programmes.
