The Federal Government of Nigeria has mandated all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to submit their establishment Acts alongside their 2027 personnel budget proposals. This directive, contained in the 2027 Personnel Costs Budget Call Circular dated September 4, 2026, aims to prevent unestablished agencies from gaining entry into the federal budget.
The move is part of tighter controls introduced by the government for the preparation of the 2027 personnel budget, covering payroll validation, recruitment, promotions, and staffing across MDAs. Failure to provide the required establishment Act may lead to the rejection of an MDA’s budget proposal. The Budget Office of the Federation is also deploying a centralised Personnel Cost Monitoring Dashboard linked to IPPIS and GIFMIS to track actual personnel expenditure against approved budgets in real time.
