2026 Budget Delays Spark Fiscal Spending Concern, Uncertainty

Delays in finalizing Nigeria’s 2026 federal budget and the Medium Term Expenditure and Fiscal Strategy Paper (MTEF/FSP) have heightened market anxiety and cast uncertainty over fiscal spending. With less than two months to the new fiscal year, the Federal Executive Council has yet to approve the budget for National Assembly submission, while the Senate demands comprehensive reports before considering any new proposal. The hold-up, driven by the need to adjust economic frameworks for falling oil prices and missed production targets, has created a ripple effect: MDAs (Ministries, Departments, and Agencies) face worsening funding crises, critical programs remain suspended, and market participants brace for unpredictable government spending.

Analysts warn that ongoing budget delays […]

The group, known as the Coalition of Unpaid Nurses and Midwives, says they have not received any pay since January 2025, leaving many in severe financial distress. Despite being granted financial clearance by government—a process meant to authorize their salaries—no payments have been made to date. During the protest, the convener of the coalition, Stephen Kwadwo Takyiah, expressed the deep frustration and emotional toll the situation has caused. “We are emotionally drained from working with no assurances of payment anytime soon,” he lamented, describing the toll on both morale and daily survival. The health professionals argue that the salary delays have forced them into what they call an […]
