The Federal Government has categorically denied claims that it incurred N8 trillion in unapproved spending.
In a statement reported on Tuesday, government officials pushed back against the allegation, describing it as unfounded. The denial comes amid heightened scrutiny of public expenditure and ongoing debates over fiscal transparency in Nigeria.
No further details of the government's rebuttal were immediately available, and it remains unclear which specific expenditures were referenced in the claim or which individual or organisation made the original allegation.
The development reinforces ongoing conversations around budget discipline and the need for robust oversight of government spending in line with the nation's fiscal responsibility framework.
