He further said that the priorities of the 2022 estimates are on Education, Healthcare and Infrastructure, like previous budgets.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during the presentation of the draft budget on Tuesday, El Rufai pointed out that the allocations in the 2022 budget estimates reflect the political values and governance principles that have consistently guided the six previous budgets that his government has presented since 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the capital spending will be in the Economic and Social Sectors, in keeping faith with our stated governance agenda. We propose to devote 76.8% of the capital budget to schools, hospitals, and infrastructure, including housing. Capital spending on Education is N68.4bn (29%) and for Health N35.1bn (15%),\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the governor, \u201cthese figures show that the 2022 draft budget estimates express our political values and governance principles in the same consistent manner as our six previous budgets.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019Devoting N115bn to these critical sectors demonstrates continuity in our emphasis on Education and Health as the key drivers of human capital development, and on investments in Infrastructure as essentials to promoting economic competitiveness, support job creation and advance well-being of our people,\u2019\u2019 he argued.<\/p>\n<p>Justifying the allocations, El-Rufai said that they will \u2018\u2019ensure that the urban renewal programme, the largest ever infrastructure investments in Kaduna State will be completed, along with initiatives in the health and education sectors.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Recalling some of the achievements of the last six years, the governor expressed appreciation to the Kaduna State House of Assembly for the close partnership that has enabled the government to innovate and drive progressive outcomes in the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is with your kind support that we have the necessary legislation to anchor our governance innovations. Enacting the Kaduna State Independent Electoral Commission (KADSIECOM) law has enabled our state to introduce a revolution in Nigeria by adopting electronic voting for the local government elections of September 2021 and May 2018,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the KADSIECOM law is among the over 100 new laws enacted since 2015 to institutionalise reforms in public finances, procurement, taxation, child welfare and protection, investment promotion, scholarships, youth capacity building and residency, among others.<\/p>\n<p>The governor further said that his administration has \u201calso focused on maintaining our credentials as one of the foremost investment destinations in Nigeria, attracting $2.8bn in investments and pledges.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recently hosted the sixth edition of the Kaduna Economic and Investment Summit, KADInvest. This concluded with the commissioning of the tomato processing plant of Tomato Jos, one of the investors in the agriculture sector in our state,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>El-Rufai said that the government is looking forward to the commissioning of the Gujeni iron and steel plant of the African Natural Resources and Mines in Kagarko LGA early in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019We also expect the Dangote-Peugeot vehicle assembly project and the OCP fertiliser plant located along the Kaduna-Abuja Road to come on stream,\u2019\u2019 the governor also promised.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u2018\u2019work is progressing well on the roads, bridges and other infrastructure required for the Damau Milk Farm project, a collaboration between our state, the Central Bank of Nigeria and Arla, the European dairy giant.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019This is a ranching project, designed to help transform and modernise livestock production in Kaduna state, by sedentarising farmers and involving them in a commercially viable animal husbandry business,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>The governor who noted that his administration launched the Urban Renewal Programme in June 2019, described it as \u2018\u2019an unprecedented investment in urban infrastructure that is changing Kaduna, Kafanchan and Zaria.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019We have built, upgraded and expanded infrastructure in these cities as part of a coordinated effort to improve the economic competitiveness of our state and increase its appeal as a place to live, work and rest,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>El Rufai said that \u2018\u2019without hiking tax rates, Kaduna state has become a top-five state for Internally Generated Revenue in Nigeria, collecting N50.7bn in taxes and levies in 2020. This is almost four times the N13bn that the state collected as IGR in 2015.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have increased school enrolment, made education free and compulsory for all children till they complete senior secondary school and launched a multicampus system for all our state-owned tertiary institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have reformed the scholarship system to reward merit and support the needy. We are implementing a more sustainable funding arrangement for tertiary education based on a partnership between the government, parents and students,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>According to the governor, his administration expanded access to Education, making the first 12 years of schooling free and compulsory, saving parents over N3bn yearly in fees by making basic education free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recently recruited 7, 600 new teachers for secondary schools, in addition to the 2,500 teachers of English, Mathematics and the sciences earlier recruited. We continue to monitor the performance of the 25,000 recruited in 2017 and 2018 to replace the 22,000 who failed the competency test,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>The government has revamped the scholarship system, by increasing allowances to those entitled based on either merit or need, he said, adding that \u2018\u2019we also introduced a low-interest loan scheme to cater for those not qualified for scholarship but who wish to finance their tertiary education.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the Health sector, we continue to improve the primary health care system, with equipment and materials and the recruitment of healthcare personnel,\u2019\u2019 the governor said.<\/p>\n<p>El-Rufai further said that \u2018\u2019enrolment of citizens for universal health coverage through the State Contributory Health Insurance Scheme continues. Testing capacity for COVID-19 has been sustained using a mix of PCR and GeneXpert machines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur investment in Social Welfare continues with funding of initiatives to support various demographics. We are funding several skills acquisition and entrepreneurship programmes for youths and women, including the Kaduna State Women Economic Empowerment Programme (KADSWEP) with N200 million low-interest microcredits targeting women entrepreneurs and vulnerable groups,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the governor, \u201c5000 young graduates have been trained in entrepreneurship through the Kaduna Startup and Entrepreneurship Programme, KADSTEP.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019With our partners in the Bank of Industry and the Kaduna Business School, we have unveiled KADSTEP 2.0 which will focus on training in ICT skills. This reinforces initiatives like Click-On Kaduna which has enabled thousands of young people to learn to code and acquire other digital skills at our Kaduna ICT hub,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing the completion of the long-delayed phases 1 and 2 of the Zaria Water Expansion Project that now supplies potable water to Zaria and Sabon Gari Local Governments, the extension of the transmission and distribution pipelines Soba, Giwa and other neighbouring local government areas continues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are changing the face of markets through direct investments and in partnership with private companies. Vice President Yemi Osinbajo recently commissioned the new Kasuwan Magani market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe expansion and development of markets in continues Sabon Gari in Sabon Gari LG, Dan Magaji in Zaria LG, and Kasuwar Barci in Kaduna South Local Government. Most of the real traders in the Abubakar Gumi Central Market in Kaduna have bought their shops as part of our programme to expand wealth creation through property ownership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReforms in Governance have empowered our MDAs to strengthen their capacity for results delivery. Our tax agency has quadrupled the collection of internally generated revenue in five years. Through the effort of the Kaduna State Geographic Information Service (KADGIS), we have signed more than 50,000 certificates of occupancy in four years,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis government has recorded the highest levels of budget performance in the history of the state, injecting the largest ever capital investment in the history of the state. In 2019, Kaduna State achieved 97.5 per cent budget performance for capital expenditure, spending N148.57bn of the N152.33bn budgeted. This is more than twice the erstwhile record of capital spending of over N62bn in 2016,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Nasir El-Rufai has presented the 2022 draft budget of N233 billion to Kaduna State House of Assembly, with a capital expenditure of N146 billion and recurrent spending of N87.6 billion.
