The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps says it will need N310m to feed and administer drugs to dogs that will be deployed in states for the 2019 elections.

The Nigeria Police Force will also require N7m to feed 50 horses that would be used for patrol during the elections which will take place between February 16 and March 2, 2019.

According to the Punchng, this information is contained in the 2018 virement proposal sent to the National Assembly for the 2019 general election by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The total police budget for the elections stands at N30.5bn; the Office of the National Security Adviser, N4.2bn; the Department of State Services, N12.2bn; NSCDC, N3.5bn and the Nigeria Immigration Service, N2.6bn.

Buhari, in a letter he wrote to the National Assembly on Tuesday, requested a total virement of N228.8bn, largely allocated to new projects “inserted” in the 2018 by the National Assembly to offset part of the proposed cost of funding the 2019 general elections. The balance of N242bn needed to fund the 2019 elections will be captured in next year’s budget.

According to the details of the 2018 virement request the President submitted to the National Assembly, the NSCDC needs N1.2bn this year to prepare for the elections.
The virement request reads, “Medical and general expenses for dogs, N143,782,000; feeding of dogs: N166,315,000. “Hiring of speedboats: N499,500,000; welfare packages (contingency of N7,000 per state and FCT) N259m; accommodation allowances for monitors: N185,000,000.”

According to the virement document, police election budget this year stands at N679m, with N7.7m earmarked for feeding of horses and N100m for printing of non-security materials. The police also asked for N87.5m for the maintenance of aircraft and N407m for maintenance of the vehicles to be used for election monitoring.

The budget states in part, “Feeding of 50 horses: N7, 719, 454; maintenance of existing vehicles for 2019 elections for the period of 20 days: N407, 400, 000.”

They should just make it N400m at once, and include goats, sheep, snakes etc. We spend carelessly because crude oil isn't produced artificially. Nothing is worse than having vissionless folks in the positions of authority of any country.

You did not include their 'Igbo'

We "invest" so much in elections, administration and politics than in the economy itself. I wish we will get pass this stage one day. Its indeed a great pity.

Which kind Dog?....

Ok, now I know Human Dog

You are right my brother, perhaps they will need their special "Weed", after all they can't be idle while those lucky "animals" are enjoying their weed.

with all the bastard polithiefians that bring touts to polling station to disrupt voting process, i should think 3 times more money/horses and dogs should be invested, as i certainly understand that it aint cheap to deploy feed and house/maintenance hundreds of animals and their handlers.

See how this useless buhari govt are just wasting our money

corruption galore everywhere....


This administration has its roots on corruption..

Zombies come and defend corruption as usual
I'm out

True

Those dogs will go after all the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of any tribe in Nigeria.

If more than 40,000 security were sent to ekiti and fayose still misbehave.

So to conduct election in 36 state we need more security personnel to cover every parts of the country,

Hence, trained dogs and horses are needed to facilitate the smooth conduct of the election.

Devised strategy to waste money
