Our Leaders Use Our Funds To Tour The World.... Yet We Are Suffering!!!

In this dying economy of ours, where we are at the brink of starvation, where 8million children are malnourished, where there is no employment, where the masses are being owed salaries, among others.  The Federal Government has spent N825 billion in three years on touring the earth, purchasing pens and books, honorarium and sitting allowances.

Disclosing this, yesterday, Head of the Efficiency Unit, set up by the Ministry of Finance  to streamline government overhead expenditure, Patience Oniha, said from the study of government overhead expenditure it carried out between 2012 and 2014, 60 per cent of Federal Government’s overhead expenditure were, on the average, incurred through local and international travels, maintenance, local and international training, welfare, office stationery and consumables, honourarium and sitting allowance, meals and refreshment and books.

The unit, which carried out an extensive and detailed review of the Overhead Expenditure data of the government for the period 2012 to 2014, found that the overhead spending pattern was concentrated on a limited number of items, including travel, maintenance, local and international training, welfare and office stationery/computer consumables.

“This means that the average amount expended annually on these five items during this period was N275 billion. 

Funny enough the estimate for 2015 and 2016 shows a continuation of this trend. 

Its obvious that our leaders don't really care about our welfare, because Nigeria has enough money to be transformed, but our  leaders prefer to use our funds for what they want and not what we need.

The Real Nigeria...
