1.7 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF KADUNA MINSTRY OF FINANCE.
The
historical record of the ministry of finance, Kaduna dated back to the
time of Northern Nigeria Region government with the headquarters in
Kaduna. When in 1967 the General Yakubu Gowon Administration created 12
states in the country, the ministry became the North central states
ministry of finance.
In 1976, the state was renamed Kaduna State
without any change in status and thus the ministry came to be known as
the ministry of Finance Kaduna. The creation of Katsina state out of the
distinct Kaduna state in 1987 brought about a change in status of the
state but the ministry remained as the Kaduna state ministry of finance.
