President Bola Tinubu has increased the proposed 2025 budget from ₦49.7 trillion to ₦54.2 trillion, citing additional revenues generated by key government agencies.
IDOMA VOICE reports that the President communicated the budget adjustment in separate letters to the Senate and the House of Representatives, which were read during Wednesday’s plenary by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Following the announcement, Akpabio referred the President’s request to the Senate Committee on Appropriations for urgent consideration.
