The Kaduna State government under Gov El-Rufai in line with its earlier tradition of holding town hall meetings on budget proposals prior to presenting the draft to the legislature for appropriation has continued the trend this year by subjecting the draft of the 2017 budget estimates to debate at a town hall meeting.
