The House of Representatives on Wednesday summoned the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Atiku Bagudu, and Chairman of the Nigerian Revenue Service, NRS, Mr. Zach Adedeji, over the zero implementation of the 2025 capital budget despite the country’s excess revenue.
The session, chaired by Abubakar Bichi, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation, was convened to probe why approved funds for capital projects remained unutilized, grounding projects across sectors and agencies.
Bichi said, “We have decided to engage the economic team of the President to discuss the previous performance of the 2025, as well as the proposed 2026. We need more information so Nigerians who are watching will be informed.”
