President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is expected to present Nigeria’s 2027 budget proposal to the National Assembly before the end of 2026, the Minister of State for Budget, Dr Doris Uzoka-Anite, has disclosed.
Uzoka-Anite made this known on Wednesday while speaking with State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The minister explained that the Federal Government was already working on the preparation of the
2027 budget, with plans to submit the proposal to the National Assembly before the end of the year.“We are working on the 2027 budget, and our intention is to present it before the end of the year,” she said.
However, the minister did not disclose the specific date President Tinubu would formally present the budget to lawmakers.
The proposed 2027 budget is expected to outline the Federal Government’s spending priorities, revenue projections and economic plans for the coming fiscal year.
Meanwhile, the Budget Office of the Federation has introduced stricter documentation requirements for ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) seeking personnel cost allocations in the 2027 budget.
In a circular dated September 4, 2026, the Budget Office directed all MDAs to submit their personnel cost proposals alongside copies of their respective establishment Acts.
