Governor Nasir El-Rufai has presented the 2022 draft budget of 233 billion naira to Kaduna State House of Assembly.
The budget has a capital expenditure of 146 billion naira and recurrent spending of 87.6 billion naira.
Speaking today during the presentation of the draft budget, El Rufai pointed out that the allocations in the 2022 budget estimates reflect the political values and governance principles that have consistently guided the six previous budgets that his government has presented.
Giving a further breakdown of the 233-billion-naira budget estimate, the governor disclosed that it has a capital to recurrent ratio of 63 percent to 37 percent.
El Rufai said the 2022 estimates are slightly smaller than the 2021 budget of 237.52 billion naira.
He further said that the priorities of the 2022 estimates are on Education, Healthcare and Infrastructure, like previous budgets.
