Budgets & GDP

*A state budget in Nigeria is a statement of intent, not a record of spending. The number signed in December is routinely revised mid-year and rarely implemented above 70% on the capital side. Read the figures below as the size of the claim, and the IGR line as the size of what the state can raise without Abuja.*

The numbers#

2026 approved budget: ₦892.448 billion (signed 27 January 2026, by the Acting Governor)

Note#

Presented at ₦890.33 billion. Assent was given by Acting Governor Umar Kadafur. Internal revenue, Federation Account receipts and debt stock are not yet recorded for this state; they will be added only once read off the NBS, Accountant-General and DMO releases.
