Pls how much will be spent on feeding the president this time? It seems its not huge enough for use as a tool for another round of propaganda?

Meanwhile, even as we look thru the budget with Tinubu's microscope for tools for political propaganda, we shouldn't forget to analyze budgetary provisions for critical projects across the country.

Unbelievable!!! Our President's travel budget for 2014 is less than the Zimbabwe's President?

(N2.3 billion = $14,479,075) < ($15 million budget for Mugabe in 2011)

A move in the right direction? Provided he sticks to the budget, yes! (Jonathan’s foreign trips gulp N3.3bn …travelled 20 times in 2012)

When Obasanjo was president, he was highly criticized for his frequent travels. Jonathan has surpassed Obasanjo and broken the record as the most travelled Nigerian president. Goodluck to him!
