The Speaker of the Borno State House of Assembly, Abdulkarim Lawan, has said the N31 billion increase in the 2025 estimate will address gaps in key sectors.
On December 9, Governor Babagana Zulum presented a N584.76 billion proposed budget to the state House of Assembly.
However, the legislators approved a N615,857 billion budget with an increase of over N31 billion for the 2025 fiscal year.
Mr Lawan, who gave the clarifications on Tuesday in Maiduguri, said the increase was based on recommendations during budget defence sessions involving ministries, departments and agencies.
