BudgIT, a civic organization, has alleged of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s move to present the 2026 budget of N54.4 trillion before the National Assembly without accounting for the 2025 budget performance report.
BudgIT made this known in a statement on X on Thursday.
The Eastern Updates reports that Tinubu is expected to present the country’s 2026 budget before the National Assembly on Friday.
Reacting, BudgIT said Tinubu’s government is yet to make public the 2025 budget implementation report.
“Mind you, there is still no budget implementation report for 2025.
“The 2026 budget is almost here, yet we don’t know how the 2025 budget performed?
“No report. No accountability,” BudgIT wrote on X.
Recall that in February 2025, Tinubu had signed the N54.99 2025 budget into law.
Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Babagana Monguno, has revealed that some funds approved by former President Muhammadu Buhari for his office were deliberately withheld by powerful interests within the Presidency.
Monguno, who served as NSA from 2015 to 2023, made the disclosure in a new book titled From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari.
The biography of the late president was written by Charles Omole and launched at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
In the book, Monguno explained that the funding problem started after he acted on intelligence from the Commander of the Presidential Air Fleet.
He said the commander warned that the company supplying fuel to the fleet was under investigation, which could pose a security risk if the firm was eventually indicted.
