The Nigerian government's Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) for 2026-2028, approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC), outlines a move towards fiscal realism with a projected revenue of N34.33 trillion for the 2026 fiscal year. The framework includes targets for oil production, budget plans based on oil benchmark prices, and exchange rate assumptions.
