On this episode of Behind the Headlines, Anchor Deborah Ezeh sits down with Oluwatobi Ojabello (Senior Financial Analyst at BusinessDay) to dissect the alarming anatomy of Nigeria’s 2026 budget. With a budget deficit rising from ₦2.2 trillion in 2016 to a projected ₦23.85 trillion in 2026, the conversation explores the shift from borrowing as a "temporary fix" to a "permanent feature."
We dive deep into:
The 52 trillion Naira budget increase over a decade.
Why debt servicing is now eating up more than recurrent expenditure.
The breakdown of spending on Security (₦5.5T+), Education (₦3.28T), and Health (₦2.08T).
The "Productivity Gap": Are we borrowing for growth or just to survive?
