Governor of Sokoto State Ahmed Aliyu has assented to the 2025 Appropriation Bill, promising to deliver more democratic dividends to the state.

The governor described the 2024 budget implementation as a success story and reiterated his administration's determination to execute people-oriented projects already started.

"In the outgoing year, we succeeded in executing many developmental projects that had impacted positively on the lives of our people.

"We would sustain this invaluable gesture by delivering more dividends of democracy to the doorsteps of our people," he stated.

The governor also thanked the lawmakers for the speedy passage of the bill.

This, he said, has demonstrated their unwavering commitment to making the lives of their people better.

Earlier, the speaker, Sokoto State House of Assembly, Hon Tukur Bala Bodinga, said the lawmakers had subjected the appropriation bill to a thorough scrutiny to ensure that it is in line with the yearnings and aspirations of the electorate.

He commended the governor for the myriad of dividends of democracy he had so far delivered across the state.

Bodinga assured Governor Aliyu of the lawmakers' support for his plausible policies and programmes to transform the state.
