President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed into law the Appropriation (Amendment) (No. 4) Bill, 2025, extending the implementation period of the 2025 budget from September 30, 2026, to December 31, 2026.
The Presidency disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
According to the statement, the President’s assent followed the passage of the amendment by both the Senate and the House of Representatives on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
The extension will allow Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) more time to complete ongoing capital projects under the 2025 budget.
The Presidency said the extension would also ensure that funds already appropriated are fully utilised without disrupting critical government programmes.
“The extension gives Ministries, Departments and Agencies more time to complete ongoing capital projects. It ensures that funds already appropriated are fully put to work for Nigerians, without disrupting critical programmes,” the statement said.
Tinubu commended the leadership and members of the National Assembly for their prompt consideration of the bill.
He said the development was another indication of the cooperation between the Executive and the Legislature in the service of the country.
