The development was contained in a statement issued by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad.

Yusuf said the budget preparation process required collective responsibility, transparency and effective coordination among members of the State Executive Council to ensure that the final document reflected the administration’s priorities.

“I call on members of the council to uphold collective responsibility, transparency and effective governance in the preparation of the fiscal plan,” the governor said.

He urged commissioners to examine their respective budget proposals carefully and make meaningful contributions before the document is presented to lawmakers.

“I urge commissioners to thoroughly examine the budget proposals for their respective ministries, departments and agencies and make contributions to ensure an inclusive fiscal plan,” Yusuf added.

As part of the preparations, the governor directed the Commissioner for Planning and Budget to coordinate discussions on the proposed fiscal document.

Other commissioners were instructed to review their respective portfolios and identify priorities that should be reflected in the 2027 spending plan.

The governor expressed confidence that the proposed budget would build on projects and programmes undertaken during the 2026 fiscal year while accelerating development across Kano State.

He described the forthcoming fiscal plan as an important instrument for consolidating existing achievements, strengthening public services and promoting sustainable development.

Although the governor did not disclose the proposed budget’s total size or detailed sectoral allocations during the meeting, the Wednesday presentation is expected to provide lawmakers and residents with a clearer picture of the administration’s financial priorities for the coming year.

The budget presentation will also mark the beginning of the legislative process through which the House of Assembly will examine the government’s spending proposals before considering their passage into law.

Meanwhile, Yusuf used the executive council meeting to welcome newly sworn-in commissioners into the state cabinet.

He called on existing members of the council to extend friendship, understanding and cooperation to their new colleagues to strengthen teamwork and improve the delivery of government services.

“I’m calling on the existing cabinet members to extend friendship, understanding and cooperation to the new commissioners to strengthen teamwork and improve service delivery,” he said.

The governor also acknowledged members of the media for their continued support and professionalism in reporting government activities.

The proposed 2027 budget comes at a significant point in Kano’s development planning, as the administration seeks to maintain ongoing infrastructure projects while addressing the demands of education, healthcare, agriculture, employment and other essential public services.

For residents, attention will increasingly turn to the actual allocations and implementation targets contained in the document, particularly how the proposed spending will translate into improvements in public services and economic opportunities.
