This was contained in a press statement signed by the Director-General, Press Affairs, Ismaila Misilli on Sunday.
Misilli disclosed that ahead of the presentation, the state government has taken steps to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive budget formulation process by holding a town hall meeting where it gathered the insights, desires, and aspirations of the citizens for integration into the budget framework.
The statement partly read, “The citizens’ engagement was hosted by the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development.
“Traditional rulers, community leaders, members of civil society organisations and people with special needs among others, participated in the consultative meeting.”
Misilli added that the proposed budget went through rigorous assessment and discussion by the State Executive Council.
He added, “Governor Yahaya’s budget presentation tomorrow (Monday) is a culmination of concerted efforts and a reflection of transparency, public participation, and governmental diligence in addressing the state’s fiscal priorities for the upcoming year.”
