    Reacting to media report on the state budget performance, stipulating a sum of N10 billion spent by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf on furniture, spokesperson of the Governor, Sanusi Bature Dawakin-Tofa urged the public to disregard the figure, which he said was intended to dent the image of the government.

    In a statement signed by Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa and made available to newsmen.

    He explained that, Kano State Government KNSG has said the sum of N596 million was spent on provision of furniture, office fittings and other amenities at various ministries, department and agencies by the present administration within first and second quarters of 2024 fiscal year.

    Besides, government has directed immediate revalidation of the second quarter of the state budget performance report to reflect the actual releases on the projects.

    According to Dawakin-Tofa, the administration of Governor Yusuf placed high priority on budget realism to achieve clear openness, transparency and accountability in governance.

    “the state Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning has just released the second quarter budget performance report on the 28th of July, 2024 and has mistakenly tempered with the figures which has generated avoidable reactions.

    “It should be noted that the timely release of the report shows unwavering commitment of the government in making available to stakeholders, the information on all expenditures as promised to the good people of Kano during the electioneering campaign”

    “Unfortunately, the second quarter report was erroneously submitted with a mix up in the template as data for payment of over ten billion naira (N10b) was used for payment of contractors’ liabilities and other expenses incurred by previous administrations.

    “The payment was done majorly to clear the backlog of indigenous contractors who were faced with challenges of bank loans and to enable them settle their debt burdens and help them go back to their normal businesses.” Sanusi Bature explained”.

    The Spokesperson continued further, “ For the record, first quarter of 2024 gulfed the sum of two hundred and ninety five million, eight hundred and twenty seven thousand, sixty two naira, eighty seven kobo (N295, 827, 062.87) while the sum of three hundred million, seven hundred and fifty million, five hundred naira (N300, 755, 500k8) was spent during the 2024 second quarter on furniture and office fittings for various Ministries, Department and Agencies respectively.

    “A total of five hundred and ninety six million, five hundred and eighty two thousand, five hundred and sixty two naira, eighty seven kobo (N596, 582, 562.87) was spent from Januray to July, 2024 as against the purported ten billion naira. The Account General would make available, the information on request by any organization because it is not hiden or secret at all” said Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa

    The amount spent on refurbishment of offices, furniture and fittings at various MDAs is not up to 5 per cent of was purportedly reported.

    The misleading information in the report was revalidated by the Office of the Accountant General of the state after series of media enquiries.

    “The state regrets any inconvenience from the report to all stakeholders, including development partners, financial institutions and government agencies.

    “It was as a result of the inability of the officials responsible for the report”

    The Governor emphasized the importance of accurately validating budget performance data from data managers and handlers.

    He warned that the government will not tolerate sharing unreliable data on its activities.

    The Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning has been directed to immediately review the template for the budget performance report using reliable data available to them.

    “They are tasked with ensuring that no future misrepresentations occur.”
