Jigawa sets record straight on Q1 education spending, says N29bn spent, not zero
The Budget Performance Report provides the following detailed breakdown of education expenditure during the quarter: Under Pre-Primary and Primary Education, the report records an original budget of ₦83,701,075,000.
The attention of the Jigawa State Government has been drawn to a report published by TheCable titled “Kano, Lagos, and Delta led states in education spending in Q1 2026,” which reported that Jigawa State recorded zero expenditure on education during the first quarter of 2026.
We do not claim that every education budget line recorded expenditure during the first quarter; the official report clearly shows that some individual categories recorded no expenditure while others recorded varying levels of implementation.
