FG Allocates N962.83bn for SUVs and Empowerment Projects
The Federal Government has allocated N962.83bn in the 2026 budget for the procurement of Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and various empowerment projects, according to civic technology organization Tracka. This allocation includes N15.13bn for the purchase of 39 SUVs and N947.70bn for 2,579 empowerment projects.
Tracka's analysis indicates that this budget is higher than the combined N960.27bn allocated to seven federal ministries, including Industry, Trade and Investment, and Housing and Urban Development. Concerns were raised regarding the implementation of these projects, as only 70 out of 2,579 have identified locations, questioning accountability and monitoring.
The projects span 184 implementing agencies, with significant allocations such as N89.09bn for the Renewed Hope Fertiliser Support Programme and N14bn each for youth empowerment initiatives. The budget also includes funds for various equipment and vehicles across different agencies.
