Ugbor noted that the 2025 budget, which allocates a record 49.76 trillion naira, is the largest ever presented in the country’s history. “The scale of this budget reflects the government’s unwavering commitment to our development agenda and the pressing needs of Nigerians,” he stated. He pointed out that such an ambitious budget reflects the government’s growing commitment to addressing the needs of Nigerians.

According to Ugbor, the budget is designed to prioritize reforms that would directly benefit citizens, particularly in constituencies affected by insecurity and agricultural setbacks.

He also commended the President’s efforts to ensure that local government autonomy and constituency projects are fully funded, so the impact of federal resources reaches even the most remote communities. “The President’s focus on local government autonomy is a critical step in ensuring that every Nigerian feels the impact of this budget,” Ugbor added.

Ugbor reiterated that the government is determined to meet the expectations of Nigerians, particularly in the areas that matter most to the people. He expressed optimism that with the ongoing reforms and increased budgetary allocations, significant progress would be made across the country. He also encouraged patience, reminding Nigerians that while President Tinubu has only been in office for 18 months, the impact of these reforms would become evident in due time. “We must be patient, as the fruits of these reforms will be seen at the grassroots level,” Ugbor advised.
