Jigawa State Ministry of Special Duties earmarked the sum of N61 million for the purchase of utility vehicles and office furniture for the ministry.

The commissioner of the ministry, Alhaji Auwalu Danladi Sankara, disclosed this while defending the ministry’s 2025 budget estimate at the State House of Assembly. He said the proposed amount to be spent in the 2025 fiscal year is N61 million.

The commissioner, represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Alhaji Muhammad Bello Dutse, who appeared before the House Committee on Special Duties, said, “The amount would be spent on the procurement of working equipment, office furniture, renovation, and the purchase of utility vehicles.”

The Ministry of Special Duties was established toward the end of the second term of the last administration, and it currently has no official vehicle and lacks adequate office equipment.
