Buhari To Spend More Than Jonathan On Presidential Villa; To Spend Less On Food by jmaine: 10:34pm On Dec 29, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari will spend N18.1 billion in 2016 to run the State House, Nigeria’s seat of power, an amount that is N11.5 billion more than what his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, spent in 2015.

The amount is also N5.9 billion more than what Mr. Jonathan spent in 2014 on the State House, details of the 2016 budget seen by PREMIUM TIMES show.

Mr. Buhari will, however, reduce the cost of feeding for the first and second families, when compared to what the Jonathan administration spent in previous years. Mr. Buhari presented a N6.08 trillion budget to the National Assembly last week, promising more jobs, economic growth and a cut-down on frivolous spending. But details of the budget show that the State House will cumulatively receive N18.1 billion in 2016.

In 2014, Mr. Jonathan spent N12.2 billion on the State House, while in 2015, the government spent N6.6 billion for the presidential office, amid dwindling revenue occasioned by sliding oil prices.

The costs cover the State House Headquarters, the president’s office and the office of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. They also cover the budgets of the State House medical centre and the Lagos Liaison office.

One of the most outstanding State House spending in 2016 will be the purchase of BMW saloon cars at N3.63 billion. It is not clear yet what purpose the cars would serve.

The state house budget also contains a repeat of projects the Jonathan administration repeatedly allocated funds for. An example is the purchase of computers, which has featured in budgets of previous government each year.

In 2016, the State House will spend N27. 5 million on computers, while N268.9 will finance computer software acquisition.

Aso Rock will spend N764.7 million on recreational activities. The installation of electrical lighting and fittings, which received substantial allocations in 2014 and 2015, will gulp N618.6 million next year.

The budgets are subject to the approval of the National Assembly.

Presidential food

The president however proposed a reduction of the feeding cost for State House in 2016.

If approved by the National Assembly, State House will spend N445.5 million for all meal-related expenses, a reduction from N542.86 million spent by Mr. Jonathan in 2014, and the N526.17 million spent in 2015.

The meal bill includes the cost for the state house headquarters, offices of the president and Vice President Osinbajo.

Details of the proposed budget show that the president would spend N114.97 million on food stuff/catering materials supplies, as against N16.68 million by his deputy during the year.

The vice president would also spend N7.55 million on refreshment & meals, and N2.49 million on cooking gas/fuel costs.

The State House Headquarters will spend N102.94 million on food stuff/catering materials supplies; N104.744 million on refreshment/meals; N89.17 million on purchase of canteen/kitchen equipment and N6.95 million on cooking gas/fuel cost.

Presidential feeding bill became a subject of national attention in 2012 when PREMIUM TIMES showed how Mr. Jonathan and Vice President Namadi Sambo proposed to spend N993 million for refreshments, catering services and purchase of kitchen equipment.

That year, N477million was assigned for foodstuffs and “catering materials supplies” for the president’s office, while an additional N293 million was to provide “refreshment and meals” for the president’s comfort at his home and office.

An extra N45.4 million was earmarked to buy canteen and kitchen equipment for the president’s household, although similar purchases were made the previous year.

That revelation aggravated public anger at the time, and revved up resistance to government’s plan, within the same period, to remove petrol subsidy, and raise the pump price of petrol.

After the publication, the administration reduced the budget by N147 million.

In 2013 and 2014, the government significantly lowered the feeding bill with N717.3 million and N542.8 million spent respectively for each year.

[b]Not only state house but every sector and agency of the economy is experiencing increased funding next year as proposed by govt except feeding in aso villa which has reduced. This is good development. For instance, for this year Jonah-daft budgeted roughly 50 billion naira for power works and housing all together, next year the govt is proposing over 450 billion naira.
Secondly this is an over 6 trillion naira budget as against the peanuts Jonah-daft normally budget while allowing leakages everywhere. Percentage of state house in relation to the total sum is still smaller than previous years.
Even with this, am still interested in the full details of what needs to be done at the state house to gulp so much money. Could it be that what has always been budgeted and planned for over the years was not spent therby making the govt to do it again. What about the proposed BMW cars, what is it for? Definitely not for the president, he uses Benz. NASS should as a matter of urgency ask the right question when scrutinizing.
Above all, am happy that the General is spending less on food than what Jonah-daft spent. He isn't a glutton and drunkard like him.[/b]

Oya everybody March to Otuoke and begin to apologise to Jonathan.

So 2016 will be hard for Nigerians, yet the few pigs in Aso rock have increased their budget by themselves and for themselves. And some followers will be online cursing and battling with fellow suffering citizens, to justify the "serious chopping" about to commence at the state house.

Having seen the full details it's obvious to all sane minds that just two areas seems to be the problem and they are the state house medical center and state house headquarters. Only a fool will expect what was budgeted for VP Sambo should be the same or less for VP Osinbajo.
What is going on in that medical centre? Previous govts budgets billions into that facility. I trust Buhari that what he promises to spend will be spent. Baba needs it.
By and large, it's OK however explanations needed on BMW CARS. If cars are really needed for officials, why not try Innosun?

This What President Buhari And Vice President intend to spend in 2016 on food

Details of the proposed budget show that the president would spend N114.97 million on food stuff/catering materials supplies, as against N16.68 million by his deputy during the year.

Now when you compare it with 1.205Billion Naira and 740Million Naira Jonathan and Sambo spent in 2015 alone, You will realize Nigeria didn't make a Mistake voting Mohammadu Buhari

If there is a new project to be carried out like new constructions, what's the fuss about it?

I think we should be concerned, is the budgeted money for feeding which less than 10% of what the Useless Jonathan ate with mama piss.
