Suleja, Gurara, Tafa demand roads, schools, hospitals in 2027 budget

Stakeholders in Suleja, Gurara, and Tafa Local Government Areas of Niger State have called for urgent rehabilitation of roads, schools, and hospitals in the 2027 budget amid poor capital project implementation in the three councils. At the 2027 Budget Preparation Citizens’ Engagement, representatives from various groups urged the government to ensure that projects in the budget are implemented, rather than left as mere provisions.

The councils currently have a combined N3.57 billion approved for capital projects, but only N150.70 million has accrued, representing a mere 4.22% performance in 2026. The state government has proposed N569.27 billion for capital expenditure in 2027, with the highest allocation going to the economic sector.
