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: ₦897,865,078,282.05 (signed 26 November 2025)

Note#

81 per cent capital, which the governor described as the lowest recurrent share since the state was created. 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.
