This policy is part of the official guidelines for implementing the 2025 Appropriation Act. It aims to improve transparency, accountability, and traceability of public spending. By requiring GPS data, the government wants to ensure that projects are trackable and verifiable.

All MDAs are required to submit detailed monthly expenditure plans for the full year by July 31, 2025. These plans must be sent to both the Budget Office of the Federation and the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation.

Projects that cost ₦150 million or more must include accurate GPS coordinates. The Director-General of the Budget Office must sign off on each plan to ensure alignment with national priorities.

The GPS requirement is part of a broader strategy to reduce duplicated, abandoned, or untraceable projects. It will support independent verification and enhance the effectiveness of Nigeria’s Bottom-Up Cash Management Strategy.

This new policy signals the government’s commitment to fiscal discipline, efficient project delivery, and accountable governance. At a time when public scrutiny of capital spending is growing, the use of GPS data adds an extra layer of confidence in how national resources are managed.
