Nigerian Govs extravagant – US embassy
The United States embassy in Nigeria has said that Nigerian governors are extravagant in spending public funds.
The embassy stated this on Tuesday while sharing a report on the governors’ extravagant spending.
The report revealed how governors lavish billions on building or renovating government houses in the midst of the prevailing economic hardship plaguing the common man in the country.
It also said that while President Bola Tinubu asked Nigerians to endure the economic hardship resulting from his policies, the governors do not share in the sacrifice.
“While Nigerians are tightening their belts, the same cannot be said of the ruling class.
“Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration approved N63.4bn for the renovation of the Government House, claiming it was an embarrassment and an unbefitting facility.
