The allocations, spread across key security agencies, include ₦438.8 billion for the Nigeria Immigration Service, ₦110.2 billion for Army defence equipment, ₦70.4 billion for Air Force defence equipment, and ₦39.4 billion for Navy defence equipment.
The 2025 budget, tagged the **“Budget of Restoration,”** reserves ₦4.91 trillion for defence and security, aimed at combating insurgency, banditry, and other pressing security challenges across the nation.
A notable ₦13.9 billion has been dedicated to aircraft maintenance and fuel, while ₦51.5 billion will fund arms, ammunition, and protective gear for personnel.
