Report: FG Completed Only 52% of Its 2024 Capital Projects.

A new field review by Tracka, a project-monitoring platform run by BudgIT, finds the results are mixed at best. The review says only about 52% of capital projects in the 2024 federal budget showed evidence of real delivery on ground.

The findings are based on monitoring projects under the ₦10.8 trillion capital spending portion of the 2024 budget. Capital spending is supposed to produce physical things people can see and use, like roads, classrooms, water projects, and health facilities.

The part that will anger many Nigerians is this. The report says money still went out for projects that did not happen. It highlights over ₦2 billion released for projects classified as not executed, and it gives a breakdown of ₦2.19 billion out of ₦7.60 billion disbursed in that category.

This is why the report clashes with what government has been saying. Wale Edun said in September 2025 that the 2024 budget had reached about 80% implementation. But that figure was presented as an overall measure that includes both recurrent spending and capital spending. Tracka’s work is narrower. It focuses on capital projects, where “implementation” should mean visible delivery, not just approvals and releases.

In simple terms, two things can be true at the same time. Government can say it spent a large share of the budget, and citizens can still struggle to see results, because spending does not always equal delivery. That is the gap Tracka is pointing at.

Tracka says the problem is not only about publishing budget numbers. It is about whether communities can confirm that projects listed in the budget were actually done. The platform was created to involve citizens in tracking and checking government projects, so people can compare what is on paper with what is on the ground.

The review also describes the scale of the monitoring behind its conclusion. It says tracking started in October 2024 and ran through October 2025, after the 2024 budget timeline was extended. It says a total of 2,760 projects were monitored.

The only answer that can settle it is full transparency that people can verify. Nigerians need project-by-project updates, contract and procurement details, the amounts released, the current status, and clear reasons where projects stopped or never started. Without that kind of open record, the phrase “budget implementation” will remain something people hear on TV but cannot feel in their daily lives.
