Overview
Tanimu Yakubu, the director-general of the budget office of the federation, says over half of the capital budget for 2024 and 2025 were allocated to projects and programmes in the north.
Rabiu Kwankwaso, former governor of Kano state, and Babachir Lawal, ex-secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), had accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of marginalising the north in infrastructure development.
Bashir Dalhatu, chairman of the board of trustees (BoT) of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), also claimed Tinubu had neglected the region.
Reacting to the claims, Yakubu said the federal government is committed to the development of northern Nigeria.
