Nigeria’s House of Representatives extends the implementation period for the capital component of the 2025 budget to September 30, 2026. Both reports say the lawmakers approve the extension through legislation that extends the deadline beyond the prior cut-off of June 30, 2026. The extension is intended to allow time to complete ongoing capital projects under the 2025 budget cycle.
One report describes the extension as covering the implementation of the 2025 capital budget, with the stated aim of finishing projects already in progress. Another report adds that the House approves the extension during an emergency sitting held on Monday, and that Julius Ihonvbere, the House leader, leads the debate on the bill’s general principles.
The two outlets agree on the key details: the measure extends the capital expenditure implementation timeline from June 30, 2026 to September 30, 2026, and it is linked to the completion of existing projects rather than a change in the overall direction of the 2025 budget.
