President Bola Tinubu has signed the Appropriation (Amendment) (No. 4) Bill, 2025 into law, pushing the 2025 budget implementation deadline from September 30, 2026 to December 31, 2026.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
He said the President’s assent came a day after the National Assembly passed the bill, with both the Senate and the House of Representatives approving it on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
According to the statement, the extension will allow Ministries, Departments and Agencies to complete ongoing capital projects and ensure appropriated funds are fully utilised without affecting key government programmes.
Tinubu also commended the leadership and members of the National Assembly for the quick passage of the bill, describing it as a reflection of Executive-Legislature cooperation in the interest of the nation.
