Kept
The promise
Promised to build Kebbi's agriculture sector around rice production, leveraging the state's farmland along the Niger and Sokoto rivers.
Assessment
Kebbi became one of Nigeria's largest rice-producing states, with more than 70,000 farmers participating in the CBN's Anchor Borrowers rice and wheat programme; Bagudu was appointed chairman of the Presidential Task Force Committee on Rice and Wheat Production in recognition of the state's output.
Partial
The promise
Promised to move Kebbi away from dependence on civil-service employment toward an industrial and agro-processing economy.
Assessment
The administration is credited with driving new agro-industrial investment, though the state's broader poverty and unemployment indicators remained weak through the tenure according to independent scorecards.
Kept
The promise
Promised to make agriculture a fiscal priority given the state's farming-dependent economy.
Assessment
Allocated ₦12.8 billion to the agriculture sector in the 2016 budget alone, reflecting the priority placed on the sector.
Partial
The promise
Promised to reduce Kebbi's heavy reliance on federal allocations by growing IGR.
Assessment
IGR rose from ₦7.37 billion in 2019 to ₦13.78 billion in 2020, though it still represented only about 12% of total state revenue by 2019, with federal allocations making up the remainder.
