Brendaniel:
110 billion for 18 schools, that's less than 10 billion per school, yet Tinubu budgeted 10 billion for only solar power in Aso rock, 21 billion to renovate Shettima's house and over 250 billion to buy new plane for himself, he throws crumbs as help for media propaganda and praise while lavishly spending billions on nonsense for himself and his cronies..

GemUnique:
This has nothing to do with tribe or politics.
The funding is for Federal Universities.
