December 30, 2015 by Delia Innoma 1 Comment

President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo are to spend N2.2bn on travels and transport, foodstuffs and catering materials, refreshment and meals as well as honorarium and sitting allowances in the 2016 fiscal year.

Details of this spending are contained in the 2016 budget of N6.08tn, which the President submitted to a joint session of the National Assembly last week.

An analysis of the document, a copy of which was obtained by Punch on Tuesday in Abuja, showed that the total allocation of N2.2bn to the President and his deputy was N710m higher than what was budgeted for the same purpose under former President Goodluck Jonathan.

According to the budget document, N1.415bn was allocated to the President alone for general travels and transport. This amount, when compared to the N944.62m that Jonathan got in 2015, was N470.38m or 49.7 per cent higher.
