Enyinnaya Abaribe Alleges Less Than 30% of 2025 Budget Implemented, Questions Spending Under Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe has criticized the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, alleging that less than 30 percent of the 2025 national budget has been implemented.
Speaking during a recent appearance, the senator raised concerns over fiscal transparency and government spending, claiming that contractors who executed projects in 2024 have yet to receive payment.
According to Abaribe, the alleged low level of budget performance calls into question the management of funds reportedly generated through revenue, borrowing, and taxation.
He further questioned the administration’s economic priorities, suggesting that attention appears to be focused elsewhere rather than on meeting key financial obligations.
The remarks add to ongoing political debates surrounding the implementation of the 2025 budget, public debt levels, and overall economic management.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official response from the presidency addressing the senator’s claims.
