Where contract money is allocated, and what the register reports.

₦1.06tn awarded across 25 local government areas. Everything below is the state's published register, totalled and compared to make it easier to read.

Read this before any number on this page The register is a window, not a ledger. Roughly half of 2026 capital spending is not visible in it, so every figure derived from the register describes the visible half.

Larger contracts are more often still in progress

The register publishes a value and a count for each status. Dividing value by count gives the average contract size.

Average contract, by reported status

Total contract value for each reported status divided by the number of projects carrying it. Both figures are published; the division is ours. Our calculation

What that means

4.0×

An unfinished contract is on average 4.0 times larger than a finished one. 122 projects are reported complete and they carry ₦105.05bn between them; 275 are not complete and carry ₦955.10bn.

Status as reported by the publisher; not independently checked. Not yet published

Where it went

Each LGA's share of all the contract value, set against its share of the people. An area holding more of the money than of the population sits above 1.0. Click a bar to open that LGA.

26.9% Okpe holds 26.9% of all the contract value and has 3.1% of the people, from 73 projects. Our calculation
0.0% Ukwuani holds 0.0% with 2.9% of the people, from 4 projects. Our calculation
Our calculation How the two shares are calculated
How we processed itContract sums summed by LGA, with multi-LGA contracts split evenly between the LGAs named, as a share of the state total; set against that LGA's share of the state population, projected from the 2006 census at 3.0% a year.

Overstates LGAs hosting corridor infrastructure that serves several LGAs, and inherits the uncertainty of a population estimate from a 2006 census. It is a comparison of shares, not money anybody received.

Who holds it

Two standard readings of the same question, which disagree.

Concentration

0 · every firm one contract 1,500 · moderately concentrated 2,500+

The Herfindahl-Hirschman index here is 562, which the standard reading calls unconcentrated across 208 distinct contractor names.

Ten contractors together hold 58.9% of all the value. Both measures are correct; they describe different things.

Similar names have not been merged — entity resolution would likely raise concentration, so this figure understates rather than overstates it. Once similar names are merged, concentration may be higher. Our calculation

Past the completion date

"Late" covers a project three days over and one that has not started. They are shown separately because they are different.
