The Federal Government has allocated ₦27 billion for the entitlements of former presidents, vice presidents, heads of state, chiefs of staff, retired heads of service, and professors in the 2025 fiscal year.

The beneficiaries of this allocation include former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan, and Muhammadu Buhari, alongside ex-vice-presidents Atiku Abubakar, Namadi Sambo, and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. Other notable individuals expected to benefit from this allocation are ex-military Heads of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.) and Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd.), as well as former military President, Ibrahim Babangida, and retired Chief of General Staff, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe.



It can be recalled that President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday presented the 2025 budget, titled ‘Budget of Restoration: Securing Peace, Rebuilding Prosperity,’ to a joint session of the National Assembly. The ₦49.70 trillion spending plan prioritizes defence, infrastructure, and human capital development, with a projected ₦13.39 trillion deficit to be financed through borrowing.

The Federal Government has allocated ₦1.4 trillion for pensions, gratuities, and retirees’ benefits. This allocation includes ₦2.3 billion for former presidents, heads of state, and vice presidents. Retired heads of service and permanent secretaries will receive ₦10.5 billion, while retired professors in universities will get ₦13.5 billion. Additionally, ₦1 billion has been allocated for retired heads of government agencies and parastatals. The total allocation for these groups amounts to ₦27 billion.

Furthermore, the budget allocates ₦46 billion for civilian pensions under the Office of the Head of Civil Service, while ₦383.9 billion is earmarked for military pensions and gratuities. An additional ₦66.8 billion is budgeted for expected retirees, with ₦434 million allocated for administrative charges, ₦596 million for pension running costs, and ₦870 million for medical retirees.

The Federal Government has also set aside funds for various social investment programs, including the student loan scheme, National Poverty Reduction with Growth Strategy programs, National Home Grown School Feeding Programme, and the Consumer Credit Fund initiatives. A total of ₦500 billion has been allocated for these programs, with ₦50 billion specifically earmarked for the student loan scheme.

Ordinary Nigerians should endure while the leaders trample on their blockos just like Tinubu is doing

They don't need this money...

You will not hear that fake Pastor Judas Yemi Osinbajo rejects the bogus benefits so that he will not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. Useless thief. Ordinary 5,000 TraderMoni, he embezzled it. The vagabond is now the one making comments about the economy.

What about Obasanjo that raised the bar of corruption in Nigeria after IBB established and institutionalised corruption? You will not hear the bastard reject the bogus benefits despite all that he looted with Atikulation Abubakar the US fugitive and Cameroonian bisexual, but he loves writing letters about the bad economy

Haaaaaaaa

Nigeria is doom, Venezuela loading

Na them own Nigeria naa. What do you expect?
When you guys will go to the land of the dead to resurrect one of those mutants each election year to be your president, you give them the belief that the only thing that matters in Nigerias politics is their comfort and their interests. They have been making presidents for this unfortunate countey since 1966 and most of you don't think it is high time they're pushed aside.
So let them enjoy..

The people that ruined the future of this country are still being worshiped. Nigerians go cryyyyyyy because them be black Jesus

all this madness ends today. Solstice
