National Assembly explains why it rejected the government’s 2027 budget

On November 7, 2026, the National Assembly’s Finance and Budgetary Oversight Committee rejected the government’s budget proposals, including those for the Presidency, the Prime Minister’s Office and several other institutions. The proposed allocation for the Presidency was 223.86 billion CFA francs, up from 204.54 billion in 2026.

Gas Transportation Network Not Responsible for Drop in Power Generation, NNPC Says

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) says its gas transportation network remains available and has no constraints that would explain the decline in electricity generation. The statement, issued in Abuja by corporate communications chief Andy Odeh, responds to the Nigerian Independent System Operator’s November 5 assessment, which cited limited gas availability and reduced water inflows to hydroelectric stations. NNPC says gas production has risen by about 10 per cent year-to-date in 2026, but adds that the shortfall must also be assessed against power plant readiness, maintenance schedules and actual gas offtake. It called on gas suppliers, transporters, power generators and NISO to jointly review operational data.

The reduction of about 1.2 billion CFA francs, or just over 5%, is attributed to an overall decrease in the institution’s spending. The document does not specify which budget items would be cut, unlike the explanations given for other institutions. Appropriations for the Supreme Court and Court of Auditors also decline, while the Constitutional Council’s budget increases.
