President Bola Tinubu has signed into law the Appropriation (Amendment) (No.4) Bill, 2025, extending the implementation period of the 2025 budget from September 30, 2026 to December 31, 2026.
This was contained in a statement by his media aide, Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday.
The assent followed the amendment’s passage by the Senate and the House of Representatives on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
“The extension gives Ministries, Departments and Agencies more time to complete ongoing capital projects.
“It ensures that funds already appropriated are fully put to work for Nigerians, without disrupting critical programmes,” the statement partly read.
The President commended the leadership and members of the National Assembly for their prompt consideration of the bill.
He described their action as a further sign of the cooperation between the executive and the legislature in the service of the nation.
On Tuesday, the Senate amended the 2025 Appropriation Act (Repeal and Re-enactment) to extend the implementation of the capital component of the 2025 budget from September 30 to December 31, 2026.
