Civil society groups in Nigeria have commended Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, for his outstanding leadership in driving the country’s economic agenda.

According to a detailed report coordinated by Independent Civil Society Groups in Nigeria, Bagudu’s stewardship has been instrumental in integrating President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda into the national budget and planning processes.

The report highlights the administration’s strategic budgetary reforms, including a significant increase in capital expenditure to ₦23.4 trillion in the 2025 budget.

It notes that this marks a robust push towards infrastructural revitalization, with key initiatives such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt-Maiduguri rail line.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, Dr. Emmanuel Agabi, President of Independent Civil Society Groups in Nigeria, said that “the 2025 budget reflects a commitment to prudent financial management and strategic allocation of resources.”

The civil society groups also praised the administration’s efforts to enhance revenue generation, promote economic diversification, and invest in human capital development.

Agabi said initiatives such as the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) and the 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) Programme aim to improve access to education and foster innovation.

“These initiatives demonstrate a forward-looking governance style that seeks to dismantle systemic inefficiencies and unlock the country’s economic potential,” Agabi added.

“We commend Senator Bagudu for his visionary leadership and commitment to transparency in the budgetary process.

“His efforts have added credibility to the government’s planning process and reinforced public trust in the system.”

The report notes that despite challenges such as inflation and security concerns, the administration’s efforts to prioritize transparency, increase capital expenditure, and lay the groundwork for sustainable economic transformation are commendable.

Agabi said the administration’s focus on infrastructure development is evident in the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund (RHIDF), which targets the mobilization of ₦20 trillion to finance critical projects across the country.

Additionally, the reports said that the government has established an Infrastructure Support Fund for states, enabling them to invest in critical areas that will create an enabling environment for businesses.

To mitigate the impact of economic reforms on vulnerable populations, it said the administration has implemented various social welfare programs, including conditional cash transfers to 15 million households and grants to support small and medium-sized enterprises.

“These measures aim to promote social inclusion, reduce poverty, and support economic resilience among disadvantaged groups,” the report states.

However, the report also notes that challenges persist, including high inflation driven by food prices and currency depreciation.

“The government should intensify efforts to stabilize the macroeconomic environment, enhance security, and implement targeted interventions to support food production and distribution,” Agabi said.

The report underscores the administration’s commitment to driving economic growth and development through strategic budgetary reforms and investments in key sectors.
