The House of Representatives has extended the implementation period for the capital component of the 2025 budget from September 30 to December 31, 2026.
The extension was approved during Tuesday’s plenary following a motion moved by the Majority Leader of the House, Julius Ihonvbere, Naija News reports.
Moving the motion, Ihonvbere said the capital component of the 2025 budget had not been fully implemented due to economic difficulties.
The House consequently approved the extension to allow more time for the implementation of the capital projects captured in the budget.
The latest extension marks the fourth time the National Assembly has shifted the deadline for the implementation of the 2025 capital budget.
On December 23, 2025, lawmakers approved a three-month extension, moving the deadline to March 31, 2026.
The decision followed the repeal and re-enactment of the 2024 and 2025 Appropriation Acts.
On March 31, the Senate and House of Representatives again extended the deadline from March 31 to June 30.
The National Assembly later approved another extension on June 15, moving the deadline from June 30 to September 30.
At the time, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele said the execution of capital projects under the 2025 Appropriation Act had not reached an optimal level.
The latest extension will now allow the implementation of the capital component of the budget to continue until December 31, 2026.
