Conflicting Revenue Figures Under Tinubu Government Raise Concerns Over Fiscal Transparency in Nigeria
Concerns are mounting over Nigeria’s fiscal transparency following conflicting revenue figures reported under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. While the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) indicates the government had generated ₦13.6 trillion as of July 2025, Finance Minister statements report only ₦10.7 trillion in revenue. Analysts warn that the discrepancy raises questions about budget accuracy, deficit financing, and long-term economic implications. Civil society groups, including BudgIT and MonITNG, have called for reconciled, transparent, and timely disclosure of revenue, borrowing, and expenditure data to ensure accountability and public trust.
