Nigeria's Budget Mismanagement Under Bola Tinubu

The Nigeria===African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused President Bola Tinubu's administration of widespread budget failures, policy reversals, and worsening insecurity, attributing these issues to the President's focus on his 2027 re-election. The ADC claims Nigeria is currently running three national budgets simultaneously without effective implementation, with only a small percentage of capital budgets released for key sectors like power, communications, education, and health. Despite claims of record revenue and increased foreign reserves, the government is criticized for aggressive borrowing, unpaid contractors, and stalled projects. The opposition party argues that this incompetence has led to unprecedented poverty and human misery, with insecurity spreading despite increased funding for the Ministry of Defence. The ADC also highlighted frequent reversals of major decisions and appointments, suggesting a distracted government prioritizing politics over governance.
