Concerns mount as public spending records vanish under Tinubu’s govt

Public spending records under Tinubu's government are causing concern as transparency and accountability come under scrutiny. The federal government's failure to provide clear records of fiscal activity for 2025 has raised alarms, with key public spending data becoming largely inaccessible.

Reports from SaharaReporters reveal a lack of updated budget performance and expenditure reporting, with the Budget Office of the Federation not publishing any performance reports since the second quarter of 2024. The Central Bank of Nigeria has also failed to release monthly economic reports beyond February 2025, leaving a gap of at least five months unaccounted for.

The absence of these reports violates existing fiscal transparency laws and undermines public trust. Experts warn that this lack of transparency weakens budget oversight and raises questions about the Tinubu administration's commitment to open governance.
