Federal Government rolls over 2025 capital projects to 2026

The Federal Government of Nigeria has approved the rollover of a significant portion of 2025 capital projects to 2026 in response to tightening revenues and competing fiscal obligations.

Ministries, departments and agencies have been instructed to consolidate spending on ongoing projects rather than initiate new capital commitments.

Policy analysts indicate that the decision aims to limit project fragmentation and improve completion rates. However, concerns remain regarding potential implementation delays, cost escalations and the administrative burden associated with multi-year rollovers.

Government officials maintain that the measure is temporary and part of a broader fiscal rebalancing strategy. Stakeholders continue to call for improved revenue mobilisation, public procurement efficiency and performance based project monitoring.
