The Kano State Government has allocated a substantial N16.6 billion for the agricultural sector in its 2025 budget, with the goal of enhancing food security, improving agricultural productivity, and ultimately boosting the income levels of its citizens.
This strategic investment reflects the state’s commitment to strengthening its agricultural framework, ensuring a more sustainable and prosperous future for its people.
Alhaji Musa Shanono, the Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, provided these details during the breakdown of the 2025 budget on Thursday. Shanono emphasized that the government is prioritizing the agricultural sector as a key area for economic development and poverty alleviation.
