Tinubu to Present 2026 Budget Without 2025 Performance Report, Raising Transparency Concerns

Bola Tinubu's administration is set to unveil the 2026 budget in Nigeria without providing the performance report for the 2025 budget, leading to worries about transparency and fiscal responsibility. BudgIT, a prominent civic tech organization, has highlighted the lack of clarity on budget implementation and warned against accepting a new budget without understanding the current financial status.

This move comes amidst concerns about irregular budget practices and overlapping budget allocations, indicating potential financial challenges within the government. The absence of key reports weakens legislative oversight and public trust, especially during heightened fiscal pressures.
