Kano state governor Dr.
Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has disclosed that his administration aims to
ensure that by the end of 2016, its total recurrent expenditure is
covered by the state’s internally generated revenue.
He also stated that the
administration plans to ensure that by the end of 2017, the whole
budgetary expenditure of the state is substantially covered by the
internally generated revenue of the year.
“As this vision is
actualized, a great percentage of the state government’s share from the
Federation Account is to be lodged into Future Generation Account, which
is to be deployed to provide qualitative education, infrastructure and
better healthcare delivery services”, the governor asserted.
Ganduje announced this during
the presentation of letters of appointment to staff engaged by the
government’s Technical Advisers on Improvement of IGR and Consultants
undertaking biometric data capture for civil servants in the state.
He stated that the government
is exploiting hitherto neglected sources of revenue and making giant
strides for harnessing the potentials of the state towards improving the
livelihood of the teeming populace.
This effort, he maintained,
has become necessary given the fact that the country’s oil revenue is
dropping drastically and that this has affected the ability of all tiers
of government to deliver their campaign promises.
