The Federal Government has instructed all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to transfer at least 70 percent of their 2025 capital budget into the 2026 fiscal year, ensuring continuity of projects and preventing wasteful spending.

According to the directive, the rollover is aimed at improving budget implementation, enhancing transparency, and guaranteeing that ongoing capital projects are not abandoned due to funding lapses. Government officials noted that the decision will also help align national planning with the long-term development priorities of the administration.

The MDAs have been advised to strictly comply with the instruction, as further guidelines on the transition process, reporting format, and timelines will be communicated. The government added that the move is part of broader reforms designed to strengthen Nigeria’s budgeting framework and improve efficiency in public expenditure.
