The Federal Government has directed ministries, departments, and agencies to move 70% of their 2025 capital allocations to the 2026 fiscal year, citing the need to manage limited revenues and complete ongoing projects before taking on new commitments.

According to officials, the decision follows a comprehensive review of the country’s financing outlook and the pressure created by multiple inherited, unfinished projects. The government said the rollover will help reduce budget strain and allow agencies focus on delivering already-approved priorities.

The directive affects both new and existing capital programmes across key sectors. MDAs are now expected to adjust their implementation plans and submit revised schedules that align with the extended completion timeline.

Government sources also disclosed that the move is part of a broader effort to strengthen project monitoring, cut wastage, and ensure that capital spending is tied strictly to measurable results.

The administration stressed that while the carryover may delay some 2025 plans, it will ultimately improve value for money and prevent the accumulation of abandoned or underfunded projects across the federation.
