2026 Budget Allocates Massive Funding to Top Road Projects in Nigeria
The 2026 Nigerian budget proposal of N58.18 trillion includes N6.08 trillion for capital expenditure, with a focus on infrastructure development projects. The Federal Ministry of Works received the largest allocation of N3.49 trillion to advance highway construction and rehabilitate roads.
Notably, the budget earmarks N13.3 billion for the ongoing dualization work on the Kano-Maiduguri road, specifically the Damaturu-Maiduguri section in Borno State. This allocation aims to complete the stretch and strengthen the northeast corridor, building on the previous year's budget allocation for the same project.
