1shortblackboy:
In the US which is a wealthier country the president pays for his food. Nigeria is busy operating a buffet for the president vice president and family everyday. While the common man starves
I was surprised when I found out the US president buy food out of his salary. The government is only responsible for his accommodation and transportation.

One of the things ruining this country is cost of governance. We spend alot in running the 'government'
Cut cost and see the true leaders emerge.
Besides, the budget of this won't be a problem if their work or travels is bringing in any development. It's just like a child who went to a very expensive school. You will be expecting nothing less

Everytime one hears a news out of this Govt, it is designed to demoralize.

The same Govt claimed that the country needs more funds so they are increasing VAT and introducing other means to syphon money from her citizens.

Yet they have the conscience to double their feeding and travel allowance?

So in essence, Mr. President wants to increase VAT on the goods I buy and place about 20% duty on goods I buy outside the country above N50k so he can increase his food and travel allowance?

Is there still hope for Nigeria?

Lols. Oya, gullible Nigerians come n defend yhur slave masters as usual.

Una never see anything yet. By the time una papa buhari don finsh with una eh, una eyes go open.



They closed the border so yhu won't import rice, the only food n means of lively hood of many Nigerians without putting the large number of those whose lives depend on it into consideration or providing a suitable alternative for their survival, all because they want to encourage productivity .


Funny enough, many of yhu are too blind to see that these same people still import oil......lols.

Abeg, can't we also stop importation of oil to encourage us to build our refineries?

No, na only the one wey affect the poor masses dem see.

And now, dem don dey spend una money nyafu nyafu for food and walka walka about.

Abeg, na how much all these their trip they bring into our pulse or what value do they add to our economy from all these trips?

Suffering and smiling Nigerians who can't see beyond their own nose.

President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will spend a total N3.5 billion on travel and food in 2020, a figure that is more than double what they spent in 2019, according to the budget proposal submitted by the president early October.

The amount spent in 2019 was N1.4billion. The sharp rise comes at a time of increased worry about President Muhammadu Buhari’s growing foreign trips.

The amount spent in 2019 was N1.4billion. The sharp rise comes at a time of increased worry about President Muhammadu Buhari’s growing foreign trips.

The president flew out of Abuja on Monday to Saudi Arabia for what officials said would include official meetings and a religious event. He will then travel to the UK after for a two-week vacation.

Mr Buhari just returned last week from Russia. Critics have questioned the real benefits of the trips that come at huge costs to the nation.

In the 2020 budget, over N2.5 billion has been budgeted for the president’s local and international travels.

Despite his new foreign travel guidelines for ministers which Mr Buhari said would curb leakages and ensure efficiency in the management of resources of government, President Buhari’s allocation for international travels increased from N751 million in 2019 to N1.75 billion.

Also, N775 million is budgeted for the president’s local travels, a whopping rise from the N250 million budgeted for the same purpose in 2019.

Similarly, N98 million was budgeted for the president’s foodstuff and catering supplies, while N25 million was budgeted for refreshments and meals.

For refreshments and meals, the president and his household and office are expected to spend more than N68,000 per day asides from the foodstuff and catering services.

For the vice president, N801 million was budgeted for travels for the year as against the N301 million which was budgeted for travels in 2019.

Local travel will gulp N283 million while international travels get N517 million in 2020.

Similarly, for the vice president, the sum total of N50 million was budgeted for foodstuff and catering materials and supplies and N18 million for refreshments and meals.

Health and Education

The African Development Bank in its 2018 Nigeria Economic Outlook said about 80 per cent of Nigerians live on less than $2 per day.

The N3.5 billion assigned for travel and food for the president and vice president can construct over 320 blocks of two classrooms with furniture using N11 million as the price for each, according to a pricing estimate by the civic group, BudgIT, provided for the 2016 Federal Constituency Projects.

Analysts believe this can help reduce the 10.5 million of the country’s children in the country.

The money can also be useful in providing healthcare for Nigerians. Nigeria is the highest contributor to maternal mortality in Central and Western Africa and contributes 14% to the global maternal mortality rate, according to UNICEF.

Most primary health centres in Nigeria do not have an ultrasound machine that could help save the lives of mothers and children during childbirth.

With the cheapest of this equipment going for N1.6 million, the huge presidential food and travel bill can cover 2,200 units of this equipment.

Tope Fasua, a financial analyst, said such spending merely help increase Nigeria’s debt.

“If you look at the budget, the entire revenue of the government can not fully cover the recurrent not to talk of capital, recurrent is not being covered by the revenue and therefore the government goes into a frenzy of trying to take taxes from people,” he said.

“Minding the fact that the global financial world is expecting another global recession by next year, most of the countries in Europe are guarding their loins and getting prepared.

“Unfortunately, this is the best we can do in this country and of course it is also very unfortunate that the Buhari government, that people had hoped that will be disciplined is perhaps the most undisciplined of the lots we have had since 1999,” he said.

Many Northerners who came out to vote President Muhammadu Buhari are fast learning that he is not their messiah.

Buhari has grossly changed from the 1983/1984 person that Nigerians know him to be.
