President Tinubu in December presented the ₦58.18 trillion 2026 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the National Assembly, vowing that 2026 will mark a decisive shift toward stronger discipline in budget execution and results-driven governance.
President Tinubu said the Budget, titled “Budget of Consolidation, Renewed Resilience and Shared Prosperity,” is designed to consolidate recent economic reforms and translate stabilising macroeconomic indicators into improved living standards for Nigerians.
The President announced the end of the long-standing practice of running multiple budgets in the country.
He said the era of overlapping budgets, abandoned projects, inherited obligations, and perpetual rollovers must come to an end if Nigeria is to achieve fiscal discipline and sustainable development.
“Before I go any further, let me be upfront. This is a reset, a very hard one,” President Tinubu declared.
He said the practice of avoiding abandoned projects, piling up contractual obligations, and running multiple budgets on a single inflow has continued to undermine effective governance and economic planning.
“We are terminating the habit of running three budgets in one inflow. By March 31, 2026, all capital liabilities from previous years will be fully funded and closed.
“From April, Nigeria will operate on a single budget backed by a single revenue cycle — no overlaps, no excuses, no rollovers,” he said.
On measures to ensure strict adherence to appropriate timelines, improved revenue mobilisation, and tighter accountability across government institutions, the President said the 2025 budget implementation faced the realities of transition and competing execution demands.
