Gov Namadi sends ₦46.3bn supplementary budget to Jigawa Assembly

The Jigawa State House of Assembly has passed the 2026 Budget Review and Proposed Supplementary Appropriation Bill of N46.3 billion for first reading.

The Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Haruna Aliyu Dangyatin, announced this during Wednesday’s plenary after reading a communication from Governor Umar Namadi requesting legislative consideration of the proposed supplementary budget.

According to the Speaker, the proposed N46.3 billion supplementary appropriation is part of the administration’s commitment to promoting prudence, accountability and transparency in the management of the state’s financial resources.

He said the review was also intended to ensure that available resources were channelled towards programmes and projects capable of making significant contributions to the socio-economic development and wellbeing of the people of Jigawa State.

Following the communication, the Majority Leader of the House, Lawan Muhammad Dansure, moved a motion for the bill to be read for the first time.

The motion was seconded by the member representing Kiyawa Constituency, Yahaya Muhammad Andaza, after which the bill was formally read for the first time.

The House subsequently adjourned its sitting to Thursday, September 24, 2026.

The proposed supplementary appropriation followed the Jigawa State Executive Council’s approval of a review of the 2026 Appropriation Law and supplementary budget, increasing the state’s total budget size by N46.369 billion.

If passed into law, the review will raise Jigawa State’s 2026 budget from the original N901.8 billion to approximately N948.2 billion.
