Figures below refer to 16 August 2026 unless stated otherwise.
This is a false or unverifiable claim. It circulates widely. The assistant will warn against it rather than repeat it, even if asked to confirm it.
The claim
₦58.18tn was the December 2025 PROPOSAL. The National Assembly raised it to ₦68.323tn, passed on 31 March 2026 and signed on 17 April 2026. Citing the proposal as the law is a common and easily exposed error.
Figures
Proposed ₦58.18tn. Enacted ₦68.323tn.
