In an opinion piece, Dele Sobowale criticizes the 2026 budget, calling it a 'salad bowl of illusions' and predicting it would fail. He cites a report by Emeka Anaeto and Gift ChapiOdekina stating that the budget will be merged with the 2027 budget due to huge outstanding from 2024/25, and that the Federal Government will request a third extension for implementing the 2024 budget. Sobowale argues that the budget prioritizes consumption over capital investment, which he says will prevent economic growth. He also questions the feasibility of the government's $1 trillion economy target by 2030.
