Katsina State Governor Dikko Umaru Radda has signed the 2026 appropriation bill into law, approving a total budget of ₦897.9 billion. About 18.7% of the budget is allocated for recurrent expenditure, while 81.3% is dedicated to capital projects.

In Delta State, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori presented a proposed 2026 budget of ₦1.664 trillion to the State House of Assembly under the theme “Budget of Accelerating the MORE Agenda.” Approximately 70% of this proposal is earmarked for capital expenditure, highlighting the state’s focus on infrastructure and socio-economic development.
