The Adamawa State Executive Council has approved a budget reallocation of N22.8 billion within the existing 2025 budget of N486.2 billion.
Mr. Emmanuel Pridimso, Commissioner for Budget and Planning, disclosed this to newsmen after the Council meeting chaired by Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri at the Government House in Yola on Wednesday.
According to him, many ministries had already exhausted their operational funds due to rising costs. “We are seeing increased prices in nearly all sectors, and this variation is necessary to ensure that government operations don’t stall”.
“Out of the approved N22.8 billion, about N8 billion will go toward recurrent expenses, including salaries and overhead costs across various ministries and agencies. The remaining N14.8 billion is allocated for capital projects—infrastructure and services expected to have long-term benefits for the state.
“Some of the standout projects in the revised budget include: New NYSC Orientation Camp – N2.04 Billion, Amusement Park Upgrade – N3.4 Billion, Maiha–Mubi Road – N3 Billion, Mubi Bypass Road – N1.2 Billion, Government House Facelift – N800 Million, High Court Consultancy – N500 Million, and Generator for Government House – N650 Million.
Pridimso added that “this variation was not a new addition to the budget but rather a consolidation of all internal reallocations made since January 2025. He explained that putting these changes into a single document would make the final printed version of the revised 2025 budget more transparent and easier to understand.
“This is all within the existing budget envelope of N486.2 billion,” he stressed. “We are not increasing the budget. We are simply reshuffling it to meet urgent needs.”
On his part, the Commissioner for Water Resources, Mr. Ayuba Audu, said N360 million has been approved for the upgrade of the Gulak Water Scheme in Madagali Local Government Area.
“The project includes new pipelines covering over 12.4 kilometers, aimed at improving the clean water supply in the community.
“Water projects are currently ongoing in 17 local government areas across Adamawa, showing the administration’s strong commitment to basic needs,” he said.
