The figure is contained in the details of the 2020 Appropriation Bill that Buhari presented to a joint session of the National Assembly on Tuesday.In the 2019 Budget, a total of N1.3bn was allocated for the foreign and local trips of the President and the Vice-President. While N1bn was allocated to the President, N301.03m was allocated to the Vice-President.
The figures are outside the N182.25m allocated for travels and transport in the budget of the State House Headquarters.Also in the bill, a total of N149m was allocated for foodstuffs and catering material supplies for both Buhari and Osinbajo.Apart from the N149m foodstuffs and catering material supplies bill, the two government officials will also spend N43.916m on refreshment and meal.
Still under the budget of the State House headquarters, a whopping N4.062bn was allocated to what was tagged “annual routine maintenance of mechanical/electrical installations of the villa.” The project is said to be an ongoing one. N32.199m is budgeted for fuel and lubricants ; N32.5m for wildlife conservation; and N45.4m for sewage charges.Meanwhile, the House of Representatives concluded the second reading of the 2020 Appropriation Bill on Thursday and adjourned plenary till October 29, 2019.
“The capacity of any government is dependent on its own educational system. As the Giant of Africa, education budget should supersede others in Africa,” he said. The Chairman of the House Committee on Agricultural Production and Services, Mohammed Dandutse, stated that the panel was critical to the development and progress of Nigeria, stressing that the lawmakers would develop a plan to achieve the goal.
Sharada said the lawmakers were working towards “writing the names of members of the committee in the history of Nigeria by improving the security of the oil and maritime industries.”

It is well.
We don’t have N30k minimum wage to pay because we have got some important trips to make🧐🧐🧐. Our leaders na wa!!

Hahahaha.... I don't have a lot to say than to laugh...hahaha
Do you know how embarrassing it is when a foreigner ask you the name of your president?
Am always impressed with the present leadership that have always made governance so transparent.
Yes, this is how the RBS on State mataz is being stupendously spent, what a dead🤦🏼♂️ country..... and they keep saying we are the leaders of tomorrow, when it’s the same pipu that have been leading us since my parents where kids as well... this is really saddening.
This is a very mischievous headline! Do you expect them to sit in Aso rock to broker deals for us? For crying out loud, when will we give our leaders a benefit of doubt for once? ProfOsinbajo and MBuhari need to be out there for our best interests please! Support them!
I don't think this amount will be enough for them o. It is too small I meant. They should spend more and enjoy it while it lasts 😤😤😤
My God saved us out, because we’re now almost at the stage of Gomorrah 😎😎😎
Lol. 3.3 billion.. On trips. Ok
Very good of them.
How much come be our own?

This is just fart, absolutely farT.
Am tired of talking This country just marvels me
U be theif, I no be thief... u be robber, I no be robber.... arguement argument
I promise you all, we need the gods in Africa and Nigeria to intervene in our trouble society, all this bible and Quran They use in swear in all this our politicians won’t work. We need a deadly revolution in Nigeria.
Is this not scam?
ProfOsinbajo ha ha, ki lo de gan self.
We deserve this.
“There is God” is beginning to get semantically logical. Na who send u message, ajala travel, di budget self Na deficit one, u want tax your underemployed citizen to waka upanda to the tune of 3billion? 🙈🙈. God would Judge you. I am short of words.
OK. And still minimum wage cannot take shape in Nigeria.
The budget is for them( politicians) not we the poor masses.
About 22 trips for both, we cant say they should not travel but at $500k/trip it can be reduced (say 12) to essentials like UNGA, AU, Ecowas etc which could give 1.863bn
Foreign and local trips to where? This is a waste of funds.
Its God of heaven that will judge you.. How will you spend sunch amount of money? Are you people going well o see God 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Naira yemi ft bubu,spending naija money lavishly!!!!
Just two individuals.... See waste of monie
That is what someone spend on 20 foreign trips as far back as 2012 I LIE ? We need to cut our governance expenses tho, from LG to Presidency, especially NASS
Hope there meals will also be Local
Heartless fellow😭, can MBuhari add me to the convoy or forward me just 1M naira. I think is part of amenities to enjoy as citizen of Nigeria, when I don't have liberty to education. Here is my account details. acct no: 0093684768, acct name: alabidun opeyemi ridwan.
When I saw the headline I thought Buhari, Osinbajo to spend N3.3bn on BUSA19
They try fah
Including to Britain?
Why joining Osinbajo. We know who be Jonny Walker.
Why not when Captain Yawale is always on the move.
This is wastage na
Why not reduce the the trips and re-invest these funds into the economy
What a country....
The way the citizens of a nation emotionally respond to every headline could be fearing! 1) This is an unpassed budget, which may not be implemented up to 50% 2) Shout hunger & food all you like, your presidential leaders won't always be home. We belong to a comity of nations!
Wen they cannot budget for Enugu airport self centred ppl
What has been the benefits to the country economically for the past four years. Let them tell Nigerians what it contributed compared to the money they've spent.
Have we considered the economic benefits these travels will bring to Nigeria and Nigerians
officialEFCC is this not fraud?
Imagine this headline as if the funds is for their personal uses
Nawa for this naija
This is outrageous. Something is wrong with these buffons, for Christ -sake what's the waste for?
Are they now celebrities, entertainers or tourists? With the way they’re travelling upandan, our President and VP will soon get signed into RocNation or GOOD music
Won ti mad, dey no fit treck go abi
Wrong captured. I expect Punch Newspaper to come up with the details and stop misleading the public.
Haha! Why so inhuman?, why? 3.3bn just on tour alone? Are you guys planning on traveling outside Earth on daily basis? Please consider us, we're suffering. You don't have to do this please...get conscience.
point of correction that money is put aside for Prez MBuhari wedding today and we have already started spending it BUSA19 BUSA2019
Which way Nigeria?
Are they going to the moon, sun and galaxy to spend that much in one year on travels
That's why it is called a budget. Past administrations had it, the future ones will still have it. Why it is your top story when there are a million amd one important one is shocking. We've heard you sha.
