5 controversial spendings by Bola Tinubu’s administration
Since taking office, President Bola Tinubu’s administration has drawn praise and criticism for its economic and financial decisions.
One of the most debated allocations in President Tinubu’s administration is the budget set aside for the office of the First Lady.
This office has historically operated with minimal official funding, primarily because it is not constitutionally recognised.
However, under Tinubu’s administration, significant funds have been allegedly allocated to this office, raising eyebrows. Critics argue that such a budget is an unnecessary drain on public resources, particularly in a country grappling with economic challenges.
In October 2023, a report by Premium Times revealed that despite the nationwide economic hardship, the federal government allowed the Office of the First Lady to spend ₦1.5 billion on vehicles.
