The Tinubu’s 2025 budget proposal which plans to spend a whopping N49.70 trillion, has made significant allocation improvements in key areas, namely; Defence and Security, Infrastructure, Education, and Health. These are areas where the country shows the need for adequate attention.
₦4.91 trillion is allocated for Defence and Security, while ₦4.06 trillion is allocated for Infrastructure, ₦3.52 trillion for Education, and ₦2.48 trillion for Health.
Questions have been raised as to why Agriculture is not included in the key areas as current situation of Food price inflation and shortage proves so.
Tinubu has gone on to claim that his administration has made some progress as figures show a growth of 3.46% in Q3 2024, from 2.54% in Q3 2023, with foreign reserves standing at $42 billion, and a trade surplus of ₦5.8 trillion.
