The House of Representatives has approved an extension of the implementation period for the capital component of Nigeria’s 2025 budget. The deadline, which was previously set for September 30, 2026, has now been extended to December 31, 2026. The extension is expected to give ministries, departments and agencies additional time to complete capital projects and utilise funds allocated under the 2025 budget. The decision followed a request from President Bola Tinubu seeking more time for the implementation of outstanding capital projects. Lawmakers said the extension would help prevent ongoing projects from being abandoned because of delays in implementation. The National Assembly has previously extended the implementation period of the 2025 capital budget on several occasions. The latest extension means that affected government agencies will have an additional three months to execute eligible projects under the budget. Lawmakers said the move would allow projects that are already at advanced stages of completion to be completed rather than left unfinished. The extension is not intended to introduce new projects into the 2025 budget but to provide additional time for existing capital projects and related expenditures. The development comes amid continuing attention on Nigeria’s budget implementation process and the need to ensure that approved funds translate into completed infrastructure and public projects. With the new deadline now set for December 31, federal government agencies are expected to intensify efforts to complete outstanding capital projects before the extended implementation period expires.
