The Kogi State House of Assembly has officially passed the 2025 Appropriation Bill into law, setting a budget of N582,404,119.489 for the forthcoming fiscal year. The decision came after a thorough review and adoption of the report from the House Standing Committee on Appropriation, Budget Monitoring, and Economic Planning.
During the detailed clause-by-clause examination in the committee of supply, Speaker Rt. Hon. Aliyu Umar Yusuf outlined the specifics of the budget. He announced that the bill authorizes a recurrent expenditure exceeding N281,153,215,687 and a capital expenditure surpassing N301,280,903,802. This financial blueprint is designed to guide the state’s economic activities from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025.
Speaker Yusuf expressed gratitude towards the assembly members for their dedication and commitment to their legislative duties in ensuring the budget was meticulously reviewed and passed. This budget, as Yusuf highlighted, allocates funds to various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), aiming for a balanced approach to both sustaining operational costs and fostering development through capital investments.
This legislative action follows the presentation by Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo on December 3, 2024, where he proposed the exact amount for the 2025 fiscal year. The approval of this budget by the Kogi State House of Assembly marks a critical step in the state’s planning and resource allocation, setting the stage for the execution of numerous projects and services intended to propel Kogi State forward in the coming year.
