2025 Budget Speech and the SDGs

On December 19, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu presented Nigeria’s 2026 Appropriation Bill, titled “Budget of Consolidation, Renewed Resilience and Shared Prosperity,” to a joint session of the National Assembly in Abuja.

Valued at approximately ₦58.18 trillion, the budget builds on two-and-a-half years of economic reforms aimed at stabilizing the macroeconomy amid challenges like inflation and residual effect of the subsidy removal. Key priorities of the 2025 budget include national security (₦5.41 trillion), infrastructure (₦3.56 trillion), education (₦3.52 trillion), health (₦2.48 trillion), and agriculture for food security and climate resilience.
