MINISTRY OF DEFENCE - N581.52bn
The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has allocated a budget of N242.51 billion (this is a significant amount). However, the challenges in the agricultural sector persist. Although funding is vital, it is not the only factor that influences food security. This budget aims to address various issues;
(1) improving infrastructure,
(2) enhancing research and
(3) promoting sustainable practices. But, without proper implementation, the impact may be limited. Because of these complexities, ongoing evaluation is essential for success.

NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER - N274.55bn
MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS - N66.88bn
The Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation has a budget allocation of N7.22 billion; however, the Federal Ministry of Art, Culture and Creative Economy's budget is significantly higher at N9.85 billion. This discrepancy raises questions about funding priorities, because both ministries serve crucial roles in society. Although one might argue that information dissemination is vital, the creative economy plays an essential part in cultural development and national identity (which cannot be overlooked). Nonetheless, it is important to analyze the implications of these financial distributions.
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF TOURISM - N895m
MINISTRY OF INTERIOR - N45.4bn
Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation: N10.86 billion. This figure reflects a significant allocation; however, it raises questions about budget priorities.

But, because the civil service plays a critical role in governance, this amount is not easily overlooked.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation receives N38.2 billion. The Federal Ministry of Special Duties & Inter-Governmental Affairs is budgeted for N2.31 billion. However, these figures reflect only a portion of the total expenditures. Although substantial, the allocations may not be sufficient to address all necessary initiatives. This situation raises questions about the prioritization of funds, especially because many sectors are competing for limited resources.

Lastly, the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission secured a smaller sum of N649 million (which is relatively modest) compared to the other ministries. Although these figures represent substantial investments, their impact will depend on effective implementation because resources alone do not guarantee success. This budgetary allocation reflects the government's priorities in various sectors.
FISCAL RESPONSILIBITY COMMISSION -
N696m
The Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation (with a budget of N114.1bn) plays a crucial role in managing the nation's water supply. However, the challenges it faces are numerous.

But with strategic planning, there is potential for significant improvement in water management.
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF JUSTICE - N37.92bn
The INDEPENDENT CORRUPT PRACTICES AND RELATED OFFENCES COMMISSION has a budget of N1.44 billion. The FEDERAL MINISTRY OF NIGER DELTA DEVELOPMENT, however, is allocated N24.5 billion.

This juxtaposition raises questions about resource allocation and priorities in governance, because the numbers suggest a disparity in funding across these critical sectors.
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF YOUTH - N7.1bn
The Federal Ministry of Sports Development has a budget allocation of N79.7 billion; however, this figure reflects the growing emphasis on the enhancement of athletic programs. Although some may argue that such funding is excessive, it is essential to recognize the potential benefits it brings to the nation's youth. This allocation underscores a commitment to fostering talent and promoting physical well-being, but it also raises questions about the effective utilization of these resources. Because of the importance of sports in societal development, the ministry must ensure that the funds are judiciously distributed.

FEDERAL MINISTRY OF EDUCATION - N551.1
The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has a budget of N592.1 billion; however, this figure raises questions regarding allocation and efficacy.

But, one must consider the various challenges that may arise within the system.
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT - N35.88bn
NATIONAL POPULATION COMMISSION - N18.3bn
The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation has allocated a budget of N24.9 billion. This amount reflects a significant investment in addressing social issues; however, many critics argue that the funds are insufficient. Although the government aims to alleviate poverty, the effectiveness of such initiatives remains a topic of debate. Some believe that more resources are necessary, but others contend that proper management is crucial. Because of these differing perspectives, it is essential to evaluate the actual impact of this funding on the communities it intends to serve.
