Katsina State Government has reached an agreement that it will review its 2020 budget from N244billion to N213billion due to the fall in the price of crude oil amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
Gov. Aminu Masari disclosed this when he received the reversed budget from the Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, Alhaji Farouk Jobe at the Government House, Katsina on Thursday.
The governor, who signed the reversed budget, said that the Members of the state House of Assembly had deliberated before passing the bill.
Masari urged stakeholders to redouble their effort in the fight against COVID-19 with a view to curbing the spread among communities in the state.
Earlier, Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Alhaji Tasiu Maigari said that the house passed the bill for reversed budget in less than two weeks.
