President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has fixed a specific date to present the 2026 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the National Assembly.
According to sources within the legislature, the budget presentation will take place before a joint sitting of the Senate and the House of Representatives, in line with constitutional requirements.
The presentation is expected to formally kick off the 2026 budget process, following the recent approval of the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) by the National Assembly.
Lawmakers and economic stakeholders are keenly awaiting details of the proposed spending plan, which is expected to outline government priorities amid ongoing economic reforms, inflation concerns, and revenue challenges.
After the presentation, the budget proposal will be referred to relevant committees for scrutiny and legislative consideration before passage.
The exact figures and key policy directions of the 2026 budget are expected to be unveiled during the presentation.
