Tinubu to present 2027 budget before year-end — Minister

President Bola Tinubu has announced that the 2027 federal budget will be presented to the National Assembly before the end of this year, according to Dr Doris Anite-Uzoka, the Minister of State for Budget and Economic Planning. This announcement was made during a briefing to State House correspondents following a Federal Executive Council meeting.

The disclosure comes after the Budget Office of the Federation issued a Personnel Costs Budget Call Circular in September 2026, requiring all ministries, departments, and agencies to submit their 2027 personnel cost proposals along with their establishment Acts. The circular aimed to prevent the inclusion of fictitious agencies in the budget by only allowing agencies captured on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System or the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System to receive funding.
