The Financial Times, London based journal, has published a report on how Nigerian leaders are living flamboyant life while the country is groaning.
It said that according to figures unveiled by the financial ministry, travel was the single biggest government line item from 2012 to 2014, at N248bn ($1.25bn) for the three years combined. This is equal to an extraordinary 18 % of total government spending.
The ministry believes it can cut N4bn a year from travel costs by discussing number of airfares with carriers, or just under 5 % of the about N85bn yearly average.
It said in a statement: “The Efficiency Unit has engaged in negotiation discussions with local and international airlines for discounts commensurate with the large number of ticket purchases made by government annually.
