Tinubu and the 2026 Budget: What Nigerians Need to Know About 2025 Spending


Rumours have circulated online claiming that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu refused to account for how the 2025 budget was spent before presenting the 2026 budget. These claims have generated confusion and speculation, particularly as Nigerians follow fiscal accountability closely.

Tinubu and the 2026 Budget: What Nigerians Need to Know About 2025 Spending

Upon careful review of verified reports and official statements, the situation is more nuanced than the headlines suggest.

The 2026 Budget Presentation

On December 2025, President Tinubu presented the ₦58.18 trillion 2026 Appropriation Bill to the National Assembly. The budget, titled the “Budget of Consolidation, Renewed Resilience and Shared Prosperity,” marks the next fiscal plan for Nigeria.

During the presentation, Tinubu emphasized fiscal discipline, efficiency, and value-for-money spending, signaling his administration’s focus on transparent management of public funds. premiumtimesng.com

Why Some Nigerians Are Concerned

Nigeria’s budget system has long faced timing challenges:

The 2024 budget extended into 2025.

The 2025 budget is being extended into March 2026.

The 2026 budget was presented while the 2025 budget was still in progress. guardian.ng

This overlap has led some critics to interpret the situation as lack of accountability, even though the president has stressed the need to reset the budget cycle and promote fiscal discipline.

Political opponents, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have raised concerns about transparency and oversight. They argue that overlapping budgets may create fiscal ambiguity and call for stronger reporting mechanisms. thisdaylive.com

Despite these criticisms, there is no evidence that President Tinubu refused to report on the 2025 budget — only that timing and procedural challenges have created the perception of incomplete accountability.

While critics continue to question the timing of budget presentations, the claim that President Tinubu refused to account for 2025 spending is misleading. Understanding the context of overlapping fiscal years and budget cycle reforms is essential to separating fact from fiction.
