President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed the Appropriation (Amendment) (No. 4) Bill, 2025, extending the implementation of the 2025 budget from September 30 to December 31, 2026.

The amendment was passed by the Senate and House of Representatives on Tuesday, September 29, before receiving presidential assent.

The extension will allow Ministries, Departments and Agencies to complete ongoing capital projects and ensure that previously appropriated funds are fully utilised.

Tinubu commended the National Assembly for its swift consideration of the bill, describing it as a demonstration of cooperation between the Executive and Legislature.
