N1.3 billion will be spent on numerous trips, both foreign and local by President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo in 2018.

According to Punch, the figure is part of the 2018 Appropriation Bill presented to the joint section of the National Assembly by President Buhari last week.

According to the details obtained by the newspaper, the two Nigerian leaders will spend N968.4 m on their foreign trips during the year, while their local trips will take N334m.

President Buhari’s budget on foreign trip alone is N751m and N250m on local trips.

The VP will spend N217m and N84m on his foreign and local trips respectively.

These figures do not include N182m allocated for both local and foreign trips in the budget of the State House Headquarters.

In the last budget of 2017, President Buhari spent N739m on foreign trips, while Osinbajo used N218m for the same purpose.

Also in 2017, N238m was spent by Buhari on local trips while his deputy’s local trips cost N88 million, spending N1. 28 billion on foreign and local trips in total last year.

Domestic trip where the only thing they spend money is fuel for the Presidential jet

They stay at state government presidential lounge and move about in state vehicles, eat state food and even wear state clothes

The same state government will be spending 50m to host Mr President

There was a country.. I weep for my country.

Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section

Yes they were elected to travel

Ajala Jnr..

Have we as a nation called Nigeria, have we as a continent called Africa ever wondered why presidents and heads of governments of developed nations like Russia, China, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, etc rarely travel out of their country

All nation's presidents now flee to China to seek for business ties and to discuss one issue or another simply because Chinese people sat down in their land and challenged themselves to solve their national issues by themselves, and ever since they succeeded, the whole world now remembered them and now begging for their attention, but here we are traveling from one inconsequential nation to another in the normal of seeking ties or whatsoever....

When will Nigerian presidents realize that failure has no friend and poverty is a loner

Dear president and VP, kindly save this huge travel budget, sit in Nigeria, look into our local artisans, local technology, tailors, farmers, welders, youth entrepreneurs, and what have you...believe me, if you harness these people well, Nigeria will become the global economy powerhouse because Nigerians are so blessed and creative...we can do even better than China if we remove tribalism, bigotry, sectional leadership and develop every part of this great nation irrespective of their political affiliation.

It is high time Nigerian leaders stop all these their personal tourism of nations with Nigerian people's common wealth, it has to stop!

If our president or VP must travel out of Nigeria, let it be a very promising nation that will benefit Nigeria and Nigerians

Anyway, Nigerian youths have wake up....if you doubt me, go and see for yourself here>>>https://www.nairaland.com/4131364/nigerian-youth-political-revolution-movement

Please is my president and his vice flying to moon abi baba won tour the world in 2018. nawa oooo
