The House of Representatives convenes an emergency sitting to consider a bill that extends the implementation period of the capital component of Nigeria’s 2025 budget by an additional three months. The sitting is scheduled for today, following a notice dated June 11, 2026, and signed by the Acting Clerk of the House, Ibrahim Sidi, according to one report. Another outlet says that if the extension is approved, it will be the third time the National Assembly grants such an extension for the completion of ongoing federal government projects included in the 2025 budget. The reports indicate the legislation is intended to provide more time for project execution rather than introduce a new budget cycle. Both sources frame the meeting as an urgent parliamentary process to review the extension request.
