🗣️ Dear Nigerians,

We talked about where the N68.32 trillion is going.

Now let’s talk about who is getting what.

Here’s how the 2026 budget is split across sectors:
📌 Security & Defence — N6.98tn
📌 Infrastructure — N6.84tn
📌 Agriculture — N3.64tn
📌 Health — N3.55tn
📌 Education — N2.73tn
📌 Science, Technology & Innovation — N1.93tn
📌 Social Development & Poverty Reduction — N800bn
📌 Women Affairs — N170bn
📌 Communication & Digital Economy — N85.56bn

Security and infrastructure alone take nearly N14 trillion.

That is more than health, education, agriculture, and science combined.

Inside infrastructure:
📌 Works — N3.59tn
📌 Water Resources — N629.67bn
📌 Transportation — N457.56bn
📌 Power — N1.13tn
📌 Aviation — N87.31bn
📌 Housing — N145.31bn

These are the numbers behind every road, every hospital, every school, or the absence of them.

Now we have seen the promises. Let’s continue to follow the money.

When people no longer feel safe in their communities, conversations about policing can no longer be postponed.

Nigeria’s security challenges continue to raise important questions about how policing can become more effective, accountable, and closer to the people it serves.

Join Open Alliance Nigeria for a timely conversation on the future of policing in Nigeria as stakeholders examine pathways to accountable and community responsive state policing.
