Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, on Thursday, signed the revised 2025 Appropriation Bill of N43 billion into law, following its passage by the State House of Assembly.

 

The Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Muhammad Usman Zuru, presented the bill to the governor at the Government House, Birnin Kebbi, in the presence of other members of the legislature.

 

Alongside the budget, the lawmakers submitted the adopted Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) for 2026–2028 for implementation. They also forwarded a resolution seeking the renaming of Government Day Secondary School, Tondi Tsamiya, to Sarki Muhammad Zayyanu Abdullahi Day School in honour of the Emir of Yauri.
