A former Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Political Affairs, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has demanded explanation on ₦6.93 trillion allegedly padded into the 2025 budget.
Papers News reported that non-governmental civic and transparency organisation, BudgIT Nigeria, alleged that the 10th National Assembly (NASS) inserted 11,122 projects worth ₦6.93 trillion in the 2025 budget.
BudgIT said analysis showed that 238 projects valued above ₦5 billion each, with a cumulative value of ₦2 trillion, were inserted with little to no justification.
