FG Borrows N11.9tn, Spends Only N3.1tn on Capital Projects in 2025
By Ayo Kehinde The Federal Government recorded fresh borrowings of N11.89 trillion in the first nine months of 2025 but spent only N3.10 trillion on capital projects within the same period, highlighting a widening gap between debt accumulation and infrastructure execution. This is according to the 2025 Third Quarter Budget Implementation Report released by the Budget Office of the Federation. The report showed that total borrowing exceeded the government’s three-quarter projection of N10.34 trillion by N1.54 trillion, representing an increase of 14.91 percent. However, capital expenditure performance remained significantly weak. Out of the N17.58 trillion budgeted for capital projects during the period, only N3.10 trillion was utilised, representing just 17.66 percent implementation and leaving a shortfall of N14.48 trillion.

Allies Push Proposal For $250 Bill Featuring President Trump’s Portrait
By Ayo Kehinde Senior officials appointed under President Donald Trump have reportedly pushed the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) to begin preliminary designs for a proposed $250 banknote carrying Trump’s portrait, a move that could mark the first time in more than 150 years that a living American appears on U.S. currency. According to multiple current and former agency employees, Trump allies within the Treasury Department have privately encouraged BEP staff to explore the idea ahead of America’s 250th Independence anniversary celebrations. The proposal has stirred debate within the agency because federal law currently permits only deceased individuals to appear on U.S. banknotes. The renewed attention follows a January appearance by Republican Congressman Andy Barr of Kentucky, who …

Nigeria’s Oil Revenue Crisis Deepens as Q3 Earnings Miss Budget Target by N7.88tn
From Victor Osula, Abuja Nigeria’s oil revenue performance suffered a major setback in the third quarter of 2025, falling far below government projections and exposing the nation’s fragile fiscal position despite slight improvements in earnings. According to the latest Fiscal Performance Report released by the Budget Office of the Federation, gross oil revenue for Q3 2025 stood at N4.87 trillion, representing a staggering shortfall of N7.88 trillion or 61.8 percent below the quarterly budget target of N12.76 trillion. The development raises fresh concerns over Nigeria’s heavy dependence on crude oil earnings at a time of rising debt obligations, widening fiscal deficits, and intensified government efforts to boost non-oil revenue through tax reforms and improved collection systems. Under the 2025 fiscal …

US, UK lead As Foreign Investors Pour $3.37bn Into Nigeria Economy
By Ayo Kehinde Nigeria recorded a sharp surge in foreign portfolio investment inflows in January 2026, with speculative capital, popularly known as hot money, rising to $3.37 billion and accounting for nearly 96 percent of total capital imported into the economy. According to the latest Economic Report released by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), total capital inflows climbed to $3.52 billion in January, representing a remarkable 181.6 percent increase from the $1.25 billion recorded in December 2025. The report attributed the massive inflow largely to growing foreign investors’ appetite for Nigerian bonds and money market instruments, driven by improving macroeconomic conditions, exchange rate stability, easing inflationary pressures, and stronger external sector fundamentals. The United States and the United Kingdom …
