COVID-19: Kano govt to emback on prudent spending, slash 2020 budget by 30% as IGR decline

Kano State government says it will adjust its 2020 budget by 30 percent decrease to ensure accomplishment of ongoing projects.

The governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, made this known during an interactive session with newsmen.

The decision followed due to the decline in Internally Generated Revenu (IGR).

According to the governor, the declined necessitated the need on the government to be prudent on its expenditure in order to complete meaningful projects before the end of his second tenure.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a lot of financial challenges. We are hopeful of completing our projects before the end of our tenure. The decline of IGR has made us become prudent on our expenditure.

“We have to be smart in the way we spend money because we want to complete our projects, that is why we are soon taking our 2020 budget to the House of Assembly for review.

“We are working to review the budget by 30% cut because we want to achieve our aim of project completion,” he said.

Thank God they're now realising their wastefulness. There are whole lot of lessons to be learnt as a result of Covid19, just pray they learn and people feel positive impact of their trust.
