Nigeria: U.S. Report Vindicates Atiku On Tinubu Govt's Fiscal Transparency
The State Department said Nigeria failed minimum fiscal transparency requirements, citing incomplete revenue and spending disclosures and budget gaps, according to Atiku’s office.
- On Tuesday, the United States Department of State released its 2026 Fiscal Transparency data, scoring Nigeria poorly for failing to meet minimum requirements for the second consecutive year.
- African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar said the report validates his repeated warnings about fiscal mismanagement; his media aide Paul Ibe stated on Thursday the findings reinforce concerns about President Bola Tinubu's administration.
- The report cited the Federal Government for failing to provide timely information on revenues and expenditures, while the Auditor-General Office did not meet international standards or publish substantive reports.
- "This report confirms what we have been saying: that Nigerians deserve to know where every kobo is coming from and where it is being spent," Atiku said, emphasizing transparency strengthens investment and economic confidence.
- Legal practitioner John Ude, Esq. argued on Friday that the assessment is flawed when compared to verifiable fiscal information, claiming it gives insufficient weight to evidence of reforms already published by Nigerian institutions.
