It is the third full budget of the<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tinubu administration.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lawmakers described the fiscal plan as a critical instrument for economic consolidation after years of fiscal strain, weak revenue performance, rising public debt and deep-rooted structural distortions in the economy.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since assuming office in May 2023, the Tinubu administration has embarked on far-reaching economic reforms aimed at correcting long-standing imbalances.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">These include the removal of petrol subsidy, liberalisation of the foreign exchange market and an aggressive drive to expand government revenue while blocking financial leakages.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although the measures initially triggered sharp increases in the cost of living and inflationary pressures, the government has consistently maintained that the reforms were unavoidable after years of unsustainable spending and economic mismanagement.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Leading the debate on the general principles of the budget, the Leader of the House, Rep. Julius Ihonvbere, said the administration inherited what he described as \u201cdistorted and disarticulated institutions,\u201d stressing that meaningful reforms could not be painless. \u201cDevelopment that is not sustainable is not development at all,\u201d Ihonvbere said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe should not deceive ourselves, reforms are painful, but they are inevitable if this country must grow, stabilise and compete globally.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said recent macroeconomic indicators, as presented by the executive, suggested that the reform agenda was beginning to yield positive results ahead of the 2026 fiscal year.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to him, Nigeria\u2019s economic growth rate has improved to about 3.98 per cent, while inflation has moderated to 14.45 per cent from previous highs of around 25 per cent. He also cited improved revenue performance, increased exports and rising foreign direct investment inflows.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">On currency stability, Ihonvbere noted that the naira had strengthened and stabilised at about \u20a61,400 to the dollar, compared to over \u20a61,800 previously.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOur external reserves have climbed to about $47 billion, which is a seven-year high and enough to cover over 10 months of imports,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;These are indicators that the economy is gradually stabilising.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He further attributed the improvement to fiscal discipline under the current administration.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe have not printed a single naira since this government came into office,\u201d Ihonvbere said. \u201cThat level of discipline is helping to stabilise the economy and restore confidence.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">A breakdown of the approved budget shows projected total revenue of \u20a634.33 trillion against total expenditure of \u20a658.18 trillion, resulting in a deficit of \u20a623.85 trillion. Non-debt recurrent expenditure is estimated at \u20a615.25 trillion, while capital expenditure stands at \u20a626.08 trillion.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lawmakers said the increased capital allocation reflects a deliberate shift from consumption-driven spending to infrastructure-led and sustainable development.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis is a clear departure from the past where recurrent expenditure dominated,\u201d Ihonvbere said. \u201cCapital investment is what drives growth, creates jobs and supports long-term national development.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 2026 budget assumptions include an oil benchmark price of $64.85 per barrel and daily oil production of 1.84 million barrels.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sectoral allocations prioritise security and national stability, with \u20a65.41 trillion earmarked for defence, security operations and food security interventions.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Infrastructure was allocated \u20a63.56 trillion, education \u20a63.54 trillion, while the health sector received \u20a62.48 trillion.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The House also noted the administration\u2019s ongoing international engagements aimed at attracting foreign investment and strengthening economic partnerships, including recent diplomatic and economic missions to countries such as Turkey.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beyond the figures, lawmakers said the budget represents a set of commitments by the executive to improve budget discipline, enhance revenue generation through tax reforms, manage public debt prudently, invest in human capital and consolidate macroeconomic stability. \u201cWe are not saying the government is perfect,\u201d Ihonvbere said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBut as representatives of 360 constituencies, it is our responsibility to support policies that will move the country forward while also guiding the government to do the right things.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Following contributions from members, Speaker Tajudeen Abbas put the question to a voice vote, with the \u201cayes\u201d overwhelmingly carrying the day.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The House thereafter approved the bill and adjourned plenary for two weeks to allow committees to commence detailed budget defence sessions with ministries, departments and agencies.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis budget is both a promise and a dream,\u201d Ihonvbere added. \u201cIf we work together, Nigeria will be a better place, not just for us, but for generations to come.\u201d<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tracy Moses The House of Representatives on Thursday approved President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s \u20a658.18 trillion 2026 Appropriation Bill, throwing its weight behind the administration\u2019s economic reform agenda while acknowledging&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":117501,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-125309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
