A total of N2.4billon is expected to be spent by the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun for the purchase of 25 Toyota sports utility vehicles for members of the state House of Assembly despite the nationwide economic downturn, a copy of the state’s 2024 approved budget seen by SaharaReporters has revealed.



Abiodun had on December 30, 2023, assented to the 2024 Appropriation Bill of N703 billion.



Christened “Budget of Sustained Growth and Development”, the governor claimed the figure was made up of N415.66 billion capital expenditure and N287.37 billion recurrent expenditure.



In the breakdown of the budget, N2,177,700,000.00 was approved for the procurement of “25 NO OF TOYOTA PRADO VX, AUTO, LEATHER SEAT, HIGH GRADE” under the state House of Assembly.



Also N161,772,000.00 was earmarked for the for procurement of one Toyota LC3003.5L, twin turbo for the House speaker.

Under the “Office of the Governor”, a total amount of N18,971,887,528.84 was earmarked for provision of contingencies to address unforeseen circumstances.



Governor Abiodun has for days been trending on X over bad roads in some communities in the state.



A user, @HauwaAllahbura had accused him of promising to fix major roads in the state when he was soliciting votes but he had failed to fulfill his promise.



She had written in pidgin English, “Good morning Nigerians. In 2020, when Dapo Abiodun was looking for votes, he said to us on X that he was fixing a few roads listed in his tweets. Here is the condition of some of the roads in his tweet. He fix am abi him no fix am? I will allow you to judge.”

Imagine setting aside a WHOOPING #18.9 BILLION for looting in a single year. Contingencies is just corruption-speak for EMBEZZLEMENT without remorse.

The #18.9B is outside of the already EXCESSIVELY padded for the governor's office.

YET, it was the same Ogun State we read about their people RUNNING to Benin Republic just to fetch ordinary WATER.

Ogun State is FINISHED! Only redeeming feature is it's proximity to Lagos State.

Spending BILLIONS on cars and BLATANTLY earmarking MORE billions to be CALLOUSLY looted while your citizens go to another country for water is a NEW level of EVIL.

Hmm...make dem buy am now b4 e go add moni...

Ogun igr can power the whole of West Africa.
He should make it 2billion dollars

Coolsperm:
Is ok, after all Ogun gets more IGR from Yoruba Muslims who mins human skull

"Coolsperm"? This your monicker cracked me up this rainy flooded morning. Cheers bro

Ogun is arguably the biggest shîthole state in the entire SW region. So rich in industries and capacity but so poor in government, it's spending and it's priorities. What a shame

nigerian politicians are in a different world,the earlier Nigerians realize the better

Keep lying to your Igbo soul Like wee can not judge what tribe you are from with your previous hate filled bigoted comment.

springsherv:

lol omo anything way them day do for that side no really corner me


that's their father problem 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

They continue to loot resources to male life easy for these useless lawmakers but as groaning workers to wait for years for a good minimum wage.

2.4 billion wasted just like that

Ogun happens to be the only state in Nigeria with huge agro land and yet has access to the sea... It Has a unique advantage

Let me tell u what 2.4 billion alone can do

Ogun has 100s of thousands of hectares of uncultivated land

Ogun can tell 20 community to set asides 500 hectares of land for cassava farming

Give them 200,000 per hectares to cultivate cassava per hectares... With the agreement that the state gets 45% of produce

That's 2 billion gone and 10,000 hectares of cassava farmed... With an average yield of 15 tons per hectares that's 150,000 tons

400 million used to set up ultra modern garri processing plant

A ton of cassava is more than 70k now but let's use 70k per ton

Revenue is 10.5 billion

State gets 4.7 billion


The farmers processing the cassava to garri minimum profit is 5 billion yearly... 20% tax gives the state 1 billion

So the state can make 5.7 billion a year from this money

COMRADES are speechless

It's well with Nigeria and Nigerians

ObiPandora:
And you know this from upper iweka or agulu

Exousiang01:

My issue with Niger state is government is too involved

Let the people do it, just identify the real farmers let them have a stake in it

The lose if it fails.. They gain if its a success

Government should have no business in business

Dem dem alone. Common roads, dem no fit provide.
