Gov AbdulRazaq seeks extra N200bn for 2024 Kwara budget
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has sought the approval of the Kwara State House of Assembly to increase the 2024 budget by N200 billion, bringing the total budget to N493 billion, up from the initial N293 billion budget he signed into law.
According to a letter read by the speaker, Rt. Hon. Engr. Yakubu Danladi Salihu, the total budget size, after review, now stands at N493,449,372,429.00, representing a 69% increase from the 2024 approved estimates of N292,741,292,132.30.
The bill, however, passed its first reading, and the Clerk to the House was subsequently directed to circulate clean copies to members. It was also referred to the House Committee on Rules and Business for second reading at the next legislative day.
