Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has disclosed that over 70 per cent of the state’s 2025 budget lines have performed beyond initial projections, signalling what he described as a strong fiscal outlook for the state.
Speaking yesterday during the State Executive Council meeting, the governor said the performance report showed that many ministries, departments and agencies not only met but surpassed their expected revenue targets of the year.
He said the budget performance clearly indicates that the administration’s revenue generation and prudent resource management strategies are working.
He, however, emphasised the need for the government to return to the drawing board and “recapture” additional flow of revenue in preparation for the 2025 supplementary budget of the state.
Governor Mohammed said budgetary discipline remained central to his administration’s development agenda.
He assured that the council would adopt corrective measures to ensure even distribution of resources across sectors, particularly in critical areas like healthcare, education, and infrastructure, where citizens feel the most impact.
