The amount was approved by the Federal Executive Council on Monday and contained in the supplementary budget sent to the National Assembly for approval.

Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu, has budgeted N4 billion for the renovation of his official residence at Dodan Barrack in Lagos, and another N3 billion for the renovation of the Vice President’s official quarters in the state.

The amount was approved by the Federal Executive Council on Monday and contained in the supplementary budget sent to the National Assembly for approval.

Mr Tinubu had on Tuesday requested the National Assembly to approve the N2.17 trillion supplementary budget.

In the supplementary budget, the president also proposed another N4 billion for the renovation of presidential quarters for the president, N4 billion for the construction of an office complex within the state house and N2.5 billion for the renovation of Aguda House – the official residence of the vice president located within the Aso Rock Villa.

Mr Tinubu also agreed to spend N3 billion on the acquisition, renovation, and rehabilitation of four EFCC fortified quarters as a state house complex at Mabushi and Guzape within the federal capital territory.

A review of the budget by PREMIUM TIMES shows that the administration is embarking on non-essential spending at a time when Mr Tinubu appealed to Nigerians to tighten their belts following the economic hardship and galloping inflation that followed the removal of subsidy on petroleum.

For instance, the official residences of the President and his vice in Lagos are rarely used.

The immediate past President, Muhammadu Buhari, used the official residence in Lagos less than four times throughout his two consecutive terms in office – 2015 to 2023.

Mr Buhari first visited Lagos on 21, May 2016 for a 2-day working visit. In that first official visit to the state, since he assumed office about a year after, the president spent the night in the state where he commissioned the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and the constructed Ago Palace Way in Okota, Isolo, among others.

In March 2018, the former president visited Lagos in another two-day working visit, where he attended the Colloquium organised to mark the 66th Birthday of Mr Tinubu who was then the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC). During that visit, Mr Buhari performed the official flag-off ceremony for the construction of the Lekki Deep Sea Port project, Ibeju Lekki, among others.

In January this year, Mr Buhari visited Lagos for a two-dayL working visit where he cut the tape on many projects including the Imota Rice Mill, and Lekki Deep Sea Port among others.

He returned to the state in May for his last official visit as president where he commissioned the 650,000 barrels per day Dangote refinery located at the Lekki free zone near Lagos.

Unlike, Mr Buhari, who used his residence in Daura while on holiday in Katsina State, it’s not clear, too, if Mr Tinubu will use his residence located on Bourdillon Street, Ikoyi, which is less than a 10-minute drive to his official residence in the Dodan Barrack during his vacation.

If you know you know.



Wittyness.

While the Ronuites keep ronuing on empty stomach

This is why the people wanted Obi

Are we all mad??
What is happening??

Wasters

Rotimi Amaechi has already described Nigerians

Thïefnubu for a reason.

Meantime...

Obi can never spend this kind of money on nonsense. He came to liquidate this country.

Tinubu s wife, Oluremi said that her husband is already a wealthy man and that they don't need Nigeria money to survive.

Why didn't they use their personal money to renovate their residence?

There is also 1.5b Naira budget for purchase of exotic cars for the office of the first lady who is not known to the law.

Besides,What is the function of the first lady if not to open charity funds account where government will be pumping money into for her to steal?

Besides,It is not all the money that will be use for the renovation.Most of them will end in their private bank accounts.

These are the politicians that are telling Nigerians to make sacrifices.

Wow, nigerians back home are really enjoying ooh,
renovating houses up and down, planning to buy yacht, buying SUVs just for y'all.







Am very impressed with the news am hearing

If you still feel pity for Nigerians then you better get your head checked
It will never be well with tinubu and its sentimental and tribalistic supporters


The likes of this Muhammad are too many in Nigeria reason Nigeria will never progress
He condemned Jonathan instead of him to use that same energy to condemned tinubu
He is now saying tinubu is not a magician


Untill we reduce the numbers of the likes of Muhammad deedee we will continue to suffer and can't unite against our politicians

With the likes of Muhammad DeeDee the nation can't unite to protest against any president from the three major tribe
Reason why endsars protest the north did not participate because it was seen as fight against their son buhari
Same thing is happening now despite the suffering no body is protesting because it will be seen as a fight against their son tinubu

This nation is doomed

Blood of Tiwa Savage

Makes no sense whatsoever.
Absolutely no meaning

The building must befit the president of the richest country in the world. Wetin una expect, make we buy cheap materials.

He is doing this on purpose. Emilokon .. His time to waste and loot Nigeria.. Ahahaha

From Presidential Yatch to pseude renovation of residences and awon oloriburuku say no money
This is exacrly the same reason NOBODY can stop the legislative arm of the government from living lavishly are all aware of the luxurious lifestyle of the executive arm, infact, they passed the budget.. This is a vicious cycle that will continue for life and the poor masses will c9ntinue to be at the receiving end of poor mamanegemt of the common wealth by the legislative and the executive arms of the govt

Looking at the current economic situation, this shouldn't have been a priority.. almost same as the yacht.

But Dodan Barracks really need a makeover coz that place is not suited for grade 4 civil servant not to talk of a sitting president..
In the long run it will saves cost, because booking 5 star hotels for functions in Lagos will be out of the situation

However, since we are in a bad situation and we trying to cut cost, the President should be able to Lead in that aspect too

His useless supporters who can't afford a bucket of Garri nor have a square meal a day will be looking like a zombie as usual.

God punish all Tinubu supporters.

They are all crying in silence at the moment.
Give a man with vision to rule you, you all said you want a drug baron.

This is just the beginning, everybody go test am

Meanwhile no appointment for FFK yet ?

Iagos:
Are we all mad??

Ask those who support these corrupt charlatans.

The thief cometh not just to steal but to kill and destroy
