Nigerian Government Allocates N1.07bn for Tinubu and Shettima's Residence Renovations

The Nigerian government has proposed a budget of N1.07bn for the renovation of residences owned by political figures like Tinubu and Shettima in 2026. This move has raised concerns about transparency and accountability in government spending, especially in light of previous controversial allocations for similar purposes.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is tasked with overseeing these expenditures. Notably, former President Muhammadu Buhari's administration faced public criticism for budgeting N333m for the renovation of the Vice President's residence.
