Sokoto State House of Assembly on Tuesday approved state government request for 3rd Quarter Capital and Recurrent Virement Warrant in the 2021 budget worth N3.27 billion.
This followed a motion by Alhaji Bello Ambarura, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Leader of the Assembly after the consideration of a letter addressed to the Speaker, Alhaji Aminu Achida by Gov. Aminu Tambuwal.
Ambarura said that the request was necessitated by the present administration’s desire to address a number of shortfalls.

“This is where some capital heads have been exhausted while certain heads are in surpluses.
“Hence, the need for the virement to address the observed deficits in the 2021 approved budget,” he said.
The speaker put the motion into a voice vote and it was unanimously accepted by the lawmakers. (NAN)
