Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has signed the state’s 2026 Appropriation Bill of ₦1.47 trillion into law.
The governor, according to a statement issued yesterday by his Chief Press Secretary, Sunusi Dawakin-Tofa, signed the Budget during a meeting of the Kano State Executive Council at the Government House, Kano.
