Aso Rock Rent is being paid to a mysterious landlord
The 2021 State House budget, as in previous years, has earmarked N66.6 million as payment for ‘residential rent’, a provision that many Nigerians have described as ‘suspicious’ with questions on if, indeed, Aso Rock is on rent.

By 2021, total money paid as rent for Aso Rock residential quarters will exceed N400 million as questions remain on who the mystery landlord is.

In 2016, following an outcry on the same item in the budget, former Head of State, and also the first occupant of Aso Rock, Ibrahim Babangida, lent his voice to criticism of the residential rent provision, asking the Nigerian government to explain who exactly are the landlords.

“I built Aso Rock and I wonder who the current Landlord is. I read a certain N22M for the payment of Aso Rock rent. Rent to who, Me or GEJ?” Babangida asked in 2016.

Aso Rock Presidential Villa was constructed in October 13, 1989, by Ibrahim Babaginda, following a 1976 proclamation by the Military Government of Murtala Mohammed for a more central state capital.

Although the controversy precedes President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, the item has over the years continued to not only be a permanent feature of the statehouse budget but has increased in the last five years.

In 2015, N22.4 million was budgeted as a rent payment for state house, by 2016, it increased to N27.73m.

Despite the outcry that trailed the previous year and economic uncertainty, the 2017 provision saw a massive increase by over 123% to N77.54m.

2018, 2019 and 2020 budgets also provided 66.6 million as rent for payment.

Structures in the Statehouse also called the Villa, include Office and Residence of the President, Offices of the Vice President and Wife of the President, the State House Conference Center, State House Annexe and the Akinola Aguda House.

President Buhari, when assuming office in 2015, had promised Nigerians he would cut waste from government spending while its funds would be directed to public good.

“The residential payment could be for those working in the statehouse, living around the villa,” Atiku Samuel a Research Lead at BudgIT explained when asked on the provision. Read FULL story on Tori4Town
