Nigerian Government Plans ₦195 Billion Spending on Presidential Amnesty Programme Between 2026 and 2028 Amid Audit Irregularities A review of Nigeria’s Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) for 2026–2028 has revealed that the Federal Government plans to spend ₦195 billion on the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) over three years. The allocation includes ₦65 billion each for 2026, 2027, and 2028, adding to the ₦130 billion already spent on the programme in 2023 and 2024. The PAP, designed to rehabilitate ex-militants from the Niger Delta, has however been plagued by financial irregularities. An Auditor-General’s report uncovered over ₦6 billion withdrawn without proper auditing, tuition payments made without documentation, unaudited expenditures of ₦3.62 billion, and cash advances exceeding approved limits. These findings have raised serious concerns about transparency, accountability, and financial controls within the programme. #PresidentialAmnestyProgramme #NigeriaBudget #PublicFinance
