The House of Representatives has extended the implementation of the capital component of the 2025 budget by three months, from June 30 to September 30, 2026.

The approval came during an emergency sitting of the House on Monday, held after lawmakers adjourned plenary until July 7 to mark the conclusion of the third legislative year of the 10th National Assembly.

The House considered and passed the Appropriation (Repeal and Enactment) Act, 2025 (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, 2026, which seeks to further extend the implementation period of the capital expenditure component of the 2025 Appropriation Act.

The extension is intended to provide more time for the completion of ongoing projects captured in the 2025 budget.

The latest extension marks the third adjustment to the lifespan of the capital component of the 2025 Appropriation Act. Related News Nigeria's middle class wanted better cars.
