JUST IN: House Of Reps Extends 2025 Capital Budget Implementation To December 31
Lawmakers said the extra time will help ministries finish capital projects and prevent abandoned infrastructure after repeated deadline extensions.
- On Tuesday, the National Assembly approved extending the implementation period for the 2025 Appropriation Act's capital component from September 30 to December 31, 2026, giving federal agencies an additional three months.
- Marking the fourth extension, this adjustment follows previous deadlines of December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2026, as lawmakers repeatedly extended the capital implementation timeline.
- Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele argued the extension protects ongoing public investments, while Minority Leader Abba Moro supported the measure but cautioned lawmakers against blaming previous administrations.
- President Bola Tinubu previously pledged to end overlapping budgets, assuring Nigerians that all capital liabilities would close by March 31, 2026, yet the 2025 capital component now remains open through year-end.
- Following the bill's passage, the House adjourned plenary until October 13, providing federal ministries three months to execute capital allocations before the 2025 budget framework officially closes.
