The Federal Government budgeted N1,001,318,171 for President Muhammadu Buhari’s local and international travels in the proposed 2019 budget.
The budget proposes N250,021,595 for the President’s local trips and N751,296,576 for him to travel internationally.
Meanwhile, N83,974,710 was budgeted for Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo’s local travel, while N217,060,883 was proposed for his international trips.
Under foodstuff/catering materials supplies, N98,306,492 was budgeted for the President and N50,888,218 for the Vice-President.

The Federal Government also proposed N416,668,229 for the construction of the presidential wing of the State House Medical Centre out of the Presidency’s total estimate of N49,307,859,794 in the 2019 budget proposal.

Aside from this, N823,441,666 was proposed for the State House Medical Centre, including drugs and medical supplies (N208,350,424).
Meanwhile, the State House also budgeted N36,787,354 for drugs and medical supplies, and N51,821,160 for medical expenses.

In the 2018 budget, the Presidency had proposed N1,030,458,453 for the State House clinic after the President’s wife, Mrs Aisha Buhari, criticised the medical centre for not having an “ordinary syringe.”
In the 2017 budget, N3.2bn had also been allocated for the upgrade of the state clinic, including “the completion of ongoing work as well as procurement of drugs and other medical equipment.”
The President and his deputy are also to spend over N7.5bn this year on “operations” and maintenance of office buildings, the breakdown of the 2019 budget showed.

The breakdown, which The PUNCH obtained on Monday night, indicated that the entire State House was allocated N49.3bn for general services, covering capital, recurrent and overhead costs.
However, the President’s office was given a dedicated vote of N10bn for the running of his office, out of which N7.5bn went for operations.
To maintain presidential office buildings will cost N4.7bn this year.
Similarly, the President’s direct overhead cost is N1.3bn, while his capital spending will consume another N416.6m, bringing the total figure for “operations” alone to N1.7bn.
On his part, Osinbajo is to spend N591.8m on operations.
Out of the figure, N448.6m goes into overhead costs, while the balance of N143.2m will be spent on capital provisions under operations.

A further breakdown of the presidential budget showed that the Presidency would buy vehicles worth N607.1m this year.

Aside from the N4.7bn budgeted for the maintenance of office buildings, the Presidential residential buildings will be rehabilitated with another N140.4m.
The item titled ‘Refreshments/Meals’ has an allocation of N135.6m and an additional N25.6m, meaning a total N161.2m.

Similarly, a provision of N65.4m was made for the animals in the State House for their “conservation.”

Only?

Are you sure it will be enough for him?

Ole buru ku

where is that abokki way they live for zamfara, we need to roast that boy on fire...imagine mr integrity day chop 98m naira...zombies quote me

OK

lol

I am not sure it will be enough for him... come on!!

He has to travel to create friends with the west, solidify international relationships with other countries as a means of opening new business channels for Nigeria.

Here is a man with ZERO financial knowledge, Zero knowledge of economic policy, Has never successfully operated any business, Zero knowledge of Human Resources.

But yet he leads a country of over 180 million people. and his campaign policy is asking us to become farmers.

Let me hear anybody tell me that Atiku is corrupt again

A reasonable president or party would be aspiring to use money to create openings that would help us generate IGR... but yet, we are stuck on using Roads, Bridge, and Flyovers as campaign achievements.

This is exactly what past leaders used and it hasn't gotten us anywhere...

Let's try two Businessmen like Atiku and Peter Obi, they might just revamp the economy for us abeg.

Tis ok

Same way Goodluck budgeted for him and left

He is going back


He ain't gonna feel it that much


Daughters of Daura go get your linen prepared coz your gift of failure is coming back home..

Even reading this, I don't know whether it's cheap or costly.
Or maybe we have to wait for people like Peter Obi to become president to compare..

Right now, I am dumb like many other Nigerians.

Our leaders are in a different world and I can't blame them when the elites are into cult followership.

Imagine half of those money are used to hire professional lecturers in our Polytechnic and University. That's the only place am concerned about.

That's quite a lot.



Anyway, if you want to learn how to attract money, check my signature.

Not too much considering the number of people he is feeding and the number of people he will be travelling with
Anyway if you don’t like it GO AND CONTEST

Mr. Integrity
