The 2026 Appropriation allocation for the State House Medical Centre places its total funding at ₦970,805,220, with the budget entirely financed from retained independent revenue and no provision for aid, grants, or external funding sources. The figures in the document show a budget structure heavily weighted toward recurrent and overhead expenditure, with comparatively lower emphasis on capital development.
Of the total allocation, ₦632,987,856 is earmarked for recurrent expenditure, accounting for well over half of the Centre’s total funding. This recurrent envelope is driven almost entirely by overhead costs, which also stand at ₦632,987,856, indicating that day-to-day operational expenses consume the largest share of the budget.
Within the overhead profile, spending on materials and supplies amounts to ₦434,165,507, making it one of the most significant cost centres. Closely following this is the allocation for drugs and medical supplies, which stands at ₦402,901,373, reflecting a strong emphasis on consumables required for routine medical service delivery. Uniforms and other clothing receive ₦31,871,014, while maintenance services – general are allocated ₦139,803,344, suggesting sustained expenditure on facility upkeep and service continuity.
Training-related costs are modest in comparison to other operational expenses. Training – general is allocated ₦36,273,482, while local training receives ₦36,273,482. Travel-related expenses include travel and transport – general at ₦22,745,243 and local travel and transport for training at ₦22,745,243, reflecting limited but recurring logistical movement associated with administration and staff development.
Capital expenditure for the State House Medical Centre in 2026 totals ₦345,817,364, representing a significantly smaller share of the overall budget when compared with recurrent costs. The capital allocation is spread across fixed asset purchases, construction, rehabilitation, and repairs.
Under fixed assets, purchases of fixed assets-general account for ₦274,902,554, while purchases of plant, machinery, and equipment stand at ₦274,902,554, indicating that asset acquisition remains the central focus of capital spending. Construction-related provisions are comparatively limited. Construction and provision of fixed assets – general is allocated ₦37,890,381, with the same amount provided for construction and provision of office buildings.
Rehabilitation and repairs also receive moderate funding. Rehabilitation and repairs of fixed assets in general are allocated ₦32,934,429, mirrored by rehabilitation and repairs of office buildings at ₦32,934,429, pointing to maintenance-focused capital intervention rather than large-scale expansion.
The project breakdown further shows that all listed projects are classified as ongoing. These include annual routine maintenance of medical equipment at SHMC and the wing with an allocation of ₦61,574,333, replacement and upgrading of buildings and infrastructure at the SHMC at ₦9,346,666, and procurement of medical equipment for SHMC and the wing amounting to ₦213,418,001. Additional projects include construction of two blocks of 24 units of three-bedroom flats at the SHMC with ₦23,193,515, construction of call duty doctors’ quarters for the State House Medical Centre at ₦6,713,303, facility management services at the State House Medical Centre at ₦23,867,563, and procurement and installation of in-house IT and dental wing infrastructure with ₦7,891,483.
The financial summary indicates that total expenditure equals total allocation, leaving a zero surplus or deficit for the year. With ₦632.99 million devoted to recurrent overheads and ₦345.82 million to capital investment, the 2026 budget profile for the State House Medical Centre reflects an institution primarily focused on operational continuity and asset maintenance, with limited fiscal space devoted to major new infrastructure or expansion initiatives.
