The Nigerian government under President Bola Tinubu has spent N5billion from the country’s public funds to renovate the Vice President’s official residence in Lagos State.

This was revealed in data available on GovSpend, a civic tech platform that tracks and analyses the Nigerian government’s spending.

The platform showed that a total of N5,034,077,063 was spent in May and September this year for the renovation of the VP’s Lagos residence.

A monthly breakdown of the amount showed that on May 31, 2024, the State House paid N2,827,119,051 to an engineering firm, Denderi Investment Limited, for the renovation of the official quarters of the vice president in Lagos.

On September 5, 2024, the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President paid the same business N726,748,686 for more refurbishment work on the Vice President's Lagos mansion.

On the same day, the Chief of Staff's office paid N1,480,209,326 to the same business for Phase 2 renovations of the Vice President's Lagos home.

Meanwhile, the Federal Capital Territory Administration, Abuja, had also said it would spend N15billion to build a “befitting” official residence for the Vice President in Abuja.

The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, had disclosed this while appearing before the House of Representatives committee to defend the FCT’s N61.5billion 2023 supplementary budget.

This disclosure generated a lot of outrage from concerned Nigerians and institutions.

For instance, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) objected to the expenditure, describing it as a fundamental breach of the Nigerian Constitution and the country’s international anti-corruption and human rights obligations.

“It will be a grave violation of the public trust and constitutional oath of office for the Senate to approve the plan to spend N15bn on ‘a befitting residence’ for the Vice President at a time when the Federal Government is set to spend 30 per cent (that is, N8.25tn) of the country’s 2024 budget of N27.5tn on debt service costs,” SERAP Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, stated.

The Executive Director of the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre, Auwal Rafsanjani, said the current administration had not been truthful about its stance to reduce the cost of governance, noting that if it had been sincere, it would have reduced allocations in its various implemented budgets over the last 16 months.

Also, the Chairman of the Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership, Debo Adeniran, said until a new constitution is formulated to regulate government spending, the country would not get rid of profligacy in its governance.

People are suffering but these fktards built a 21 billion mansion in Abuja, spent 5 billion to renovate Lagos.

Haa
ENIKR

Some dafts in the other thread are praising the boudulon drug pusher for subsidy removal and floating of the naira that has destroyed the economy. Rewind to 2012 Tinubu mobilized many dafts from Nigeria to protest subsidy removal and naira devaluation. Today the same thing The APC President kicked against is what he's leaning on. What type of drug is jagaban snorting.

They are still spending on renovation

A criminal.

Confam

BREAKING

Two Nigerian Judges Who linked to Tinubu's 2023 Presidential Election Found Dead In Their Homes On Same Day::

Two Nigerian judges involved in the ruling that declared President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 presidential election have reportedly died on the same day, under mysterious circumstances, in their respective homes.

Justice Mistura Bolaji-Yusuf, one of the five judges who presided over the electoral case, was confirmed dead by her family earlier today. According to family members, she was in good health the previous night before going to bed. However, when they attempted to wake her the following morning, she was unresponsive. The cause of her death remains unknown at this time.

In a separate but equally troubling incident, Justice Boloukuoromo Moses Ugo was also found dead following a loud noise from his room around 2 a.m. Family members reportedly broke down his door after hearing the disturbance and discovered him bleeding and unresponsive.

And so?

It is finished

Nigeria!!!!!

Yet, you want people to make sacrifice and continue paying taxes, voluntarily. This is one of the reasons why self assessment and compliance with tax payment by the citizens would be impossible. The Nigerian elites are living on unimaginable affluence and wealth to the detriment of the citizens

Hehehehehehehe

You will not find those urchins here, but just mention obi, they will swam like flies

How pleasing…

Meanwhile, no progress update on your eight point agenda between August 29, 2023 to August 28, 2026 Mr Tinubu?


1. food security;
2. poverty eradication;
3. growth,
4. job creation;
5. access to capital;
6. inclusion;
7. rule of law; and
8. fighting corruption

Nigerians have suddenly become "mrs endurance patience"

Wasteful government

Good job, he's teaching the obidients lessons on politics.

I'm here looking for five thousand to buy drugs and feed and you're using 5billion to renovate?

Oh God!

Misplaced priorities characterizing this govt

We will learn a lesson

They can spend money on frivolities but masses must continue to bear with them to reposition the economy. Can't u see the kind of people we called leaders. They are the most wicked set of individuals on earth. These people shall not die well
