The FCT Appropriation Bill 2025 was conveyed via a letter read on the floor of the House by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen at plenary on Tuesday.
Tinubu said the budget submission was in accordance with Section 299 of the Nigerian Constitution, which assigns legislative authority over the FCT to the National Assembly.
He noted that the budget would focus on key sectors including healthcare, job creation, social welfare, increased agricultural output, and infrastructure development.
The President stated that 85% of the capital component of the budget is earmarked for the completion of ongoing projects, while the remaining 15% will fund new initiatives.
