It appears Men of the Nigerian Police force are in for a feeding spree come 2019, as the elections dates draws nearer. According to the proposed INEC budget for the said general elections, feeding of policemen during the 2019 polls will gulp as much as N6bn, Punch Newspaper reports.
This is contained in the budget for the polls presented to the House of Representatives by the Independent National Electoral Commission. Lawmakers have raised eyebrows over the figure and are asking the INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, to defend it.
Even if the Lawmakers are not raising any eyebrow, as a concerned Nigerian, i am raising one here right now. How can they budget that huge some just to feed policemen alone? That is completely outrageous. Anyway, the budget defence is still ongoing at the National Assembly, and we would all wait for the final outcome of this.
Nonsense!
