The governor presented the proposal Thursday afternoon, reading out a total of N583,331,380,496, of which 64.07 percent is for capital spending, amounting to N373,690,964,682; and 35.93 percent recurrent expenditure, that amounts to N209,640,964,682.
The governor indicated that a huge chunk of the budget, over N120 billion, is for the state Ministry of Works and Energy Development to continue the administration’s road and other projects around the capital, Yola, and other parts of the state.
According to the governor, education will have the next biggest share of the budget, trailing the workshop ministry distantly with slightly over N40 billion share of the budget, while health delivery is allocated N31.9 billion.
The governor thanked the House of Assembly for the cooperation he enjoyed from members across party lines, and appealed for speedy passage of the 2026 fiscal bill.
