A new World Bank report indicates that the 36 states of Nigeria experienced a substantial 93% surge in revenue from 2023 to 2025. Despite this significant increase in funds, education’s proportion of overall state expenditure has decreased. The findings stem from the bank’s latest Nigeria Development Update, an analysis of spending priorities nationwide following revenue gains. This report assesses how increased public income across the federation is being allocated. The data raises concerns about the prioritization of education in Nigeria's state budgets despite improved financial positions. Further details are available from Vanguard News, where the report was initially published. The shift in expenditure warrants further investigation into the reasons behind the declining investment in education within the 36 states of Nigeria.
