All things being equal, Nigerians may once again witness a delay in the presentation and passage of the 2026 national budget, as President Bola Tinubu appears set to present the fiscal document later than expected.

Sources indicate that the budget presentation to the National Assembly, originally expected between September and October, may now take place in November 2025. The shift raises concerns that the country could face yet another late budget cycle, disrupting the implementation of fiscal plans for the coming year.

Observers warn that recurring delays in budget submission undermine efforts to maintain a stable budget calendar and could affect timely execution of capital projects and service delivery across ministries, departments, and agencies.
