EXPOSED!!! Attn, Governor @HyacinthAlia This is the current condition of RCM Primary School, Adikpo, in Mayange Mbayan, Ushongo LGA, Benue State. Since 2023, this school has reportedly remained in ruins, while children who should be learning are left without a decent classroom. Behind these broken walls are innocent children with dreams, ambitions and a future worth fighting for. How can we expect them to learn effectively when the very environment meant to support their education has been abandoned? Parents worry about their children’s future, and the community continues to bear the painful consequences of this neglect. Residents have reportedly written several letters to relevant stakeholders, pleading for the school to be renovated, but their appeals have yet to produce the needed results. This is happening in a country where an estimated 18.3 million children are out of school. Every neglected school risks making an already serious education crisis worse. Meanwhile, Benue State reportedly received over ₦137.38 billion in FAAC allocations between January and September 2026. If this figure is confirmed, residents deserve to know what proportion of public resources is being invested in education and why a school in this condition has remained unattended for so long. We call on the Benue State Government, the Ministry of Education, SUBEB, Ushongo LGA and all relevant authorities to urgently intervene and restore RCM Primary School to a safe, functional learning environment. These children did not choose to be born into a community where their school could be left to decay. They deserve the same opportunity to learn, grow and succeed as every other Nigerian child. A classroom is not a luxury. Education is a right, and these children must not be forgotten. Please amplify this appeal until the authorities listen and action is taken. #FixPublicSchools

EXPOSED!!! Attn, Governor @HonBago This is Kwamba Primary Health Centre in Suleja LGA, Niger State, a facility serving a community of over a thousand residents. It is difficult to believe that this is a functioning Primary Health Centre in 2026. Patients are being treated on old, torn and badly stained mattresses. Some of the beds are visibly worn out, while the general condition of the wards raises serious questions about the quality of care available to people who have no other option. The toilet facility is another disturbing reality. Dirty and heavily stained walls, stagnant water and poor sanitation create an environment that could expose patients and health workers to further health risks. A healthcare facility should be one of the cleanest places in a community, not a potential source of infection. The facility lacking the basic infrastructure and equipment expected of a functional PHC. The condition of the furniture, beds and other visible items suggests years of neglect. Health workers cannot be expected to provide quality healthcare when they are working in an environment that lacks the most basic necessities. And this is where the question of public resources becomes unavoidable. The Niger State Government received ₦48.37 billion in FAAC allocations between January and March 2026 alone. With billions of naira accruing to the state in just three months, residents have every right to ask: where is the investment in basic healthcare? This is not a demand for luxury. The people of Kwamba are asking for a health centre with clean toilets, safe beds, essential medical equipment, a decent working environment and the personnel needed to provide quality care. Behind these walls are mothers seeking care for their children, pregnant women who need safe maternal services, elderly residents requiring treatment and ordinary citizens who cannot afford private hospitals. Governor @HonBago , ₦48.37 billion in FAAC allocations in three months should translate into visible improvements in the lives of Niger State residents. A PHC serving over a thousand people should not be allowed to deteriorate to this level. We call on the @NigerStateNG, the @Fmohnigeria and the Suleja LGA authorities to urgently inspect Kwamba PHC, renovate the facility, replace the damaged beds and mattresses, improve sanitation, provide essential medical equipment and ensure adequate staffing. The people of Kwamba deserve healthcare with dignity. Their lives should not depend on a PHC that government has forgotten. Action is needed now before neglect becomes tragedy. #FixOurPHCs @muhammadpate @WHO

Despite ₦74.5m released for the construction of classrooms at Pobuna Secondary Grammar School, Poka, Epe, Lagos, the project has been shamefully abandoned, raising serious concerns about accountability and value for money. Even more alarming is the involvement of the Federal Ministry of Justice, whose core responsibility is to uphold the rule of law, provide legal advisory services to government, and ensure enforcement of contracts not to directly execute school construction projects. On 27 June 2024, ₦74.58m was disbursed by the federal government to Joyful Sound Nigeria Ltd for this project. Initial work began, materials were delivered, walls erected, and beams cast, giving the community hope that overcrowded classrooms and poor learning conditions would soon be addressed. That hope has since vanished. Findings by the Tracka team, confirmed via the Govspend platform, revealed during a recent visit that the site has been completely abandoned. No workers, no contractor only unfinished structures left to deteriorate. Community members confirmed that the contractor has not returned to site since May 2025. Today, students are still crammed into congested classrooms while a fully funded project meant to provide classrooms and toilets remains stalled. This is a clear case of wasted public funds, denied educational opportunities, and institutional failure. We call on the Federal Ministry of Justice to explain its role, enforce accountability, and work with OSSAP-SDGs, @officialEFCC, and @icpcnigeria to ensure this project is completed. #GetInvolved

FRAUD ALERT!!! Dear @icpcnigeria, @officialEFCC & @NgProductivity In Nov 2024, ₦6.8m (30% mobilization) was released to SPRINGFIELD ASSOCIATES LTD for the construction of a 3-Classroom Block with Furniture at Toto Community Primary School, Toto LGA, Nasarawa State. The total project cost is ₦25m. The Tracka team visited the site and confirmed that, almost one year later, work has not started. Pupils still learn in a dilapidated school building with leaking roofs, broken ceilings, and cracked walls, conditions completely unfit for learning. Teachers lamented the urgent need for more classrooms and renovation of the existing structures to meet the growing number of pupils. Shockingly, this project was domiciled under the National Productivity Centre (NPC), under the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, an agency that lacks the mandate and technical capacity to supervise basic education infrastructure. Projects like this should rightly be domiciled under @ubecnigeria, which is specifically tasked with delivering basic education facilities. Awarding education projects through agencies without capacity only breeds delays, abandoned projects, and wastage of public funds. In this case, despite ₦6.8m already released, there is nothing to show on the ground. We call on the @icpcnigeria and @officialEFCC to urgently investigate both the contractor SPRINGFIELD ASSOCIATES LTD and the supervising agency, the National Productivity Centre (@NgProductivity ) to establish why funds were released with no visible work done. Nigerians deserve answers and accountability. Education is a fundamental right. The children of Toto Community deserve safe and functional classrooms, not crumbling structures. @NgProductivity must come clean to the public on the status of this project and take immediate steps to ensure its execution. No child should be denied quality education due to negligence, poor oversight, or mismanagement of public funds. #AskQuestions @Ibnwalee @NigEducation

IMPACT!!! Dear Kebbi Citizens, Our ongoing civic monitoring in Kebbi State has uncovered critical gaps in school infrastructure, overcrowded classrooms, dilapidated structures, and a severe lack of furniture. In response to our advocacy, Gov. @NasiridrisKG has approved ₦1.4bn for the procurement of assorted school furniture across the state. This initiative aims to improve the learning environment and raise educational standards. While these actions are commendable, transparency remains key. We are requesting the full list of schools scheduled for renovation and furniture distribution to ensure accountability and monitor implementation. Through sustained engagement, our civic-tech initiatives continue to empower citizens to hold government accountable, track resource deployment, and advocate for meaningful improvements in public services. Kebbi State’s response demonstrates that citizen-led monitoring can influence policy action and resource allocation. We urge the government to share a detailed rollout plan for the furniture supply, including timelines and targeted schools, so citizens can track progress and ensure equitable distribution. Full transparency will build public confidence and maximize the impact of this ₦1.4bn investment on the learning environment. This milestone reinforces the importance of consistent civic engagement, data-driven advocacy, and collaboration between citizens and government. We remain committed to monitoring the implementation of these initiatives, amplifying citizen voices, and promoting accountability in Kebbi State’s education sector. We call on the government to maintain open communication with the public on all ongoing school renovation and furniture provision projects. Citizens deserve timely, verifiable information to ensure that investments translate into real improvements for students and teachers across the state. #GetInvolved #AskQuestions @TallMuye @Ibnwalee

ATTENTION!!! Dear Governor @daudalawal_ During our recent visit to Birnin Ruwa Model Primary School, located in Gusau Mayana Ward of Gusau LGA, Zamfara State. Despite the fact that the school building was recently renovated, no furniture was provided for the classrooms. Pupils are forced to sit on the bare floor every day just to learn. This is not just a minor oversight; it is a glaring case of misplaced priority that strips children of dignity and discourages them from pursuing education. Sadly, this is not an isolated case. Our findings across several schools in the state capital reveal a disturbing trend, virtually every school we tracked is plagued with the same problem. Children are learning on the floor due to the absence of basic classroom furniture, even though billions of naira are budgeted annually by the Zamfara State Government for education. The lack of something as simple and essential as desks and chairs does more than inconvenience pupils. It directly fuels the growing number of out-of-school children in Zamfara. Parents lose confidence in the system when they see their children studying under such harsh and undignified conditions. Over time, many pupils simply drop out, leaving behind shattered dreams and a community robbed of its future. What makes this situation even more troubling is that Zamfara has benefitted from billions of naira in education funding from both government allocations and international donor agencies. Yet these resources have failed to translate into meaningful reforms or visible improvements in the lives of the children who need them most. Instead of focusing on genuine learning needs, the government appears more concerned with cosmetic projects that make little difference to real educational outcomes. Renovating walls without providing furniture is like painting over cracks in a collapsing house, it looks good on the surface but does nothing to solve the real problem. We are therefore calling on Governor Dauda Lawal to urgently declare a state of emergency in Zamfara’s education sector. This is not about politics but about the future of thousands of children whose only crime is being born in a state where education has been neglected. If urgent steps are not taken, Zamfara will continue to lag in human capital development, perpetuating cycles of poverty and underdevelopment. ZSUBEB has attempted to explain away these issues, claiming that the deplorable state of UBE Low-Cost Primary School in Tudun Wada Ward is due to vandalism. But how do they explain Birnin Ruwa Model Primary School in Mayana Ward, Gabas Model Primary School in Bypass Tudun Wada, or Gada Biyu Model Primary School in Madawaki Ward, where the same conditions persist? It is not credible to dismiss all these cases as vandalism. What we are witnessing is systemic failure born of neglect, poor oversight, and mismanagement of funds. Blaming vandals and threatening school staff, as the ZSUBEB Chairman Professor Nasir Garba Anka has done, only deflects responsibility from the government. Zamfara allocated ₦79.6 billion to education in the 2025 Rescue Budget 2.0 and ₦51.3 billion in 2024, alongside UBEC funds and international donor support. Yet pupils remain condemned to studying on bare floors in overcrowded classrooms, without windows, desks, or chairs. This crisis is not about vandalism. It is about failed leadership, lack of accountability, and misplaced priorities. Zamfara’s children deserve better. They deserve classrooms with furniture, safe environments, and real opportunities to learn, not excuses, blame-shifting, or half measures. The time for genuine reforms and transparent use of resources is now. #GetInvolved #FixPublicSchools @TallMuye @Ibnwalee @WethepeopleNigr @NigEducation

EXPOSED!!! Dear @icpcnigeria & @officialEFCC Projects nominated by Senator Victor Umeh,(@SenVictorUmeh) who represents Anambra Central Senatorial District, have become a source of frustration for citizens. Despite millions released to contractors by supervising agencies, none of these projects have been fully completed. This is unacceptable, and we are calling on @icpcnigeria and @officialEFCC to investigate why public funds are being wasted while communities continue to suffer. According to findings by TrackaNG, millions have been allocated to constituency projects across Anaocha, Idemili North, and other parts of Anambra Central. Yet the reality on the ground tells a different story, abandoned sites, stalled works, and incomplete structures litter communities that were promised development. Take for example, the N25m allocated for the construction of a solar-powered borehole with overhead tanks at Uffa Village, Aguluzoigbo in Anaocha LGA. The borehole and tank were installed, but the solar components were never completed. The contractor, DOSON NEW TECH NIGERIA LTD, last appeared on-site in November 2024 and has since vanished. The community is left stranded with a half-delivered project. In another case, N11.6m was released in September 2024 to THE LEAD RESOURCES LTD for the construction of Umenwedo Kindred Hall at Ifite Village, Aguluzoigbo. Tracka’s findings show the foundation has been laid and blocks raised to four coaches, but work has stalled with no visible progress in months. Citizens who anticipated a functional community hall now watch weeds take over. At Udoka Primary School in Eziowelle, Idemili North LGA, N30m was earmarked for six blocks of classrooms with desks. The project got as far as window level before it was abandoned in November 2024. The contractor, DUXLAR CONSTRUCTION CO. LTD, has disappeared, citing lack of funds. Yet allocations have been made. Pupils are left learning under deplorable conditions while a promised school building remains uncompleted. These examples are not isolated. They represent a troubling pattern where projects are nominated to agencies without the mandate to implement them, funds are disbursed, but the intended beneficiaries are left empty-handed. This raises serious questions about oversight and responsibility. A Senator’s duty does not end at nominating projects. Representation demands monitoring, ensuring delivery, and demanding accountability from contractors and agencies. The failure to complete these projects points to negligence and a disregard for the welfare of the people of Anambra Central. Tracka has done the painstaking work of uncovering and documenting these failures. Their reports provide citizens and institutions with evidence of how public resources are being mismanaged. At MonitNG, we are amplifying these voices, ensuring that communities are heard, and calling for urgent action. Citizens of Anambra Central cannot continue to be shortchanged. We demand transparency from the supervising agencies. We demand that contractors return to site and complete these projects. Most importantly, we demand that @icpcnigeria and @officialEFCC investigate why funds are being released for projects that remain abandoned or poorly executed. Public funds belong to the people, and every project abandoned is a betrayal of trust. Senator Victor Umeh owes his constituents answers. Nigerians deserve accountability, transparency, and full delivery of all projects funded with their money. MonitNG will continue to amplify the voices of affected communities, ensuring that the truth is not buried. With Tracka providing the evidence, we call on oversight bodies to act decisively. Anambra Central deserves better. #GetInvolved #Tracka #MonitNG @Ibnwalee @TallMuye

ATTENTION!!! Dear Governor @daudalawal_ The condition of Gada Biyu Model Primary School, Madawaki Ward, Gusau LGA, Zamfara State, is nothing short of a scandal. In this public school there is not a single desk or chair. Pupils are crowded into overcrowded, dilapidated classrooms, multiple classes merged into one, and many children are forced to sit on bare concrete floors just to receive a basic education. The learning environment is dusty, uncomfortable, undignified, and completely at odds with what education is supposed to provide. What makes this especially grievous is that this situation persists even though the Zamfara State Government has repeatedly allocated enormous sums for education. In the 2025 “Rescue Budget 2.0” of ₦545 billion, ₦79.6 billion (14%) was earmarked for education. Earlier in 2024, ₦51.3 billion was similarly allocated. There are also federal grants via UBEC, and significant international support (from agencies like UNICEF, USAID, GPE) pledged to strengthen basic education. Still, in schools such as Gada Biyu, there is no trace of these resources in the classrooms where children sit on cold floors without furniture. Instead, we see funds channelled towards priorities that yield little visible benefit for learners. For instance, there have been reports of extravagant travel and hospitality expenses, including a claim (which the government later denied or contested) that over ₦400 million was spent on foreign trips, local travel, transport, private security, and related expenses in a short span. Such expenditures are starkly out of touch when weighed against the bare minimum that a school needs,chairs, desks, safe classrooms,for teaching children. This is not just mismanagement; it is a failure of political will and accountability. Child after child in Zamfara is having their right to decent education violated, not because money isn’t available, but because priorities are misaligned. When basic infrastructure is absent, when learners are treated as an afterthought, the future of Zamfara is jeopardised. We call on you, Governor @daudalawal_, to declare a state of emergency in education, to ensure that the billions allocated are not just on paper, but reach the ground. Ensure that schools are furnished, classrooms repaired, that no child has to sit on a bare floor to learn. Zamfara’s promise for tomorrow depends on what we do for our children today. #FixPublicSchools #ZamfaraEducationCrisis @Ibnwalee @Choji_ES

ATTENTION!!! Dear Gov @dikko_radda During our recent visit to LGEA Primary School Gyastuwa in Sandada Ward, Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State, we were met with a deeply disturbing reality. The only primary school in this entire community, once a place of hope and learning, now lies in total ruin. Its classrooms have been completely destroyed by strong winds, leaving behind collapsed walls and an empty shell that can no longer serve its purpose. As a result, children in Gyastuwa have stopped going to school altogether because there is simply no safe space for learning. This tragic situation is not just about one school, it reflects the wider decay of public education in Katsina State. Year after year, billions of naira are allocated to the education sector, yet communities like Gyastuwa are abandoned and forgotten. Both past and present administrations have failed to prioritise the future of children, showing a shocking disregard for the importance of basic education. The current government, under Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, has done little to change this reality. Despite enormous budgetary provisions, there has been no significant project focused on rebuilding schools or improving educational infrastructure. The neglect is so severe that many children in the state are being denied their constitutional right to education a right that should never be negotiable. We are calling for a state of emergency in the education sector. The crisis in Gyastuwa is part of a larger pattern across the state, where countless schools are in deplorable conditions while the number of out-of-school children continues to rise. It is unacceptable that despite the ₦121 billion released by UBEC to 27 states and the FCT, Katsina State has failed to utilise its share. These funds are meant to provide safe learning environments, yet they remain unspent while children’s futures are wasted. Education is the foundation of progress, and neglecting it means condemning an entire generation to poverty and hopelessness. The government must act with urgency to rebuild Gyastuwa Primary School and overhaul the state’s education system. Governor Radda must prioritise education now, our children’s future depends on it. #EducationEmergency #FixPublicSchools @katsinapost

ATTENTION!!! Dear Gov @ubasanius We visited Government Secondary School (GSS) Cikaji in Sabongari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, and the situation we found on the ground was deeply disturbing. A public school that once served as a place of hope and learning for children in the community now lies abandoned and forgotten. Its classrooms are dilapidated, the buildings are falling apart, and the environment is unsafe and unsuitable for learning. For over two years, this school has remained in a state of neglect, and the consequences have been devastating. More than a hundred students who once attended GSS Cikaji have stopped going to school entirely because the facility can no longer serve its purpose. Instead of being a safe space for education, the school now stands as a symbol of government failure and abandonment. The most alarming discovery during our visit was an open soakaway pit located behind the building, a ticking time bomb that poses a grave danger to the lives of students and anyone who enters the premises. This single hazard alone makes the school unsafe, yet it continues to be ignored by the authorities responsible for protecting the lives and future of Kaduna’s children. What makes this situation even more unacceptable is that Kaduna State has consistently received billions of naira in education funding over the years, from both federal allocations and interventions by development partners. Year after year, substantial budgetary provisions have been announced, yet the conditions of public schools like GSS Cikaji remain appalling. Classrooms across the state are still collapsing, children learn under leaking roofs, and many schools lack basic infrastructure and safety measures. Despite these massive investments, the impact of the funds is not visible where it matters most, in the lives of the children who rely on public education. This administration has placed little priority on addressing the crisis in the sector, and its neglect has left countless young people without access to quality education. We are calling on Governor Uba Sani to urgently declare a total state of emergency on education in Kaduna State. The future of thousands of children depends on decisive action to rebuild decaying schools, make learning environments safe, and ensure that every child in Kaduna has access to the quality education they deserve. #FixPublicSchools @TallMuye @OlayideO_Soaga @NigEducation

EXPOSED!!! Dear FCT Minister @GovWike & Senator @IretiKingibe This is the heartbreaking reality of the Kwali–Ijah Dabuta–Ijah Pada–Bowolo–Daka–Tampe Road project in Yangoji Ward, Kwali Area Council, FCT Abuja. A project that was meant to transform lives has now become a symbol of neglect, poverty, and corruption. In 2020, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved the construction of this 7-kilometre road at a contract value of ₦719.4 million. The job was awarded to Messrs. Sahabi Liman and Sons Ltd, under the supervision of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA). It was flagged off with high hopes by the then Minister of State, Dr. Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu, who promised residents that the long years of suffering would finally end. Unfortunately, those promises never materialised. By 2021, the contractor had only carried out road measurements and disappeared from site. No actual construction took place, and by 2022, the situation forced Dr. Ramatu to issue an ultimatum demanding that the contractor return. The ultimatum was ignored, leaving the community trapped with an abandoned project despite the massive allocation. Today, in 2025, the road is a nightmare. Deep gullies and collapsed sections have cut off access completely. What should have been a smooth link between villages is now a dangerous pathway where commuters risk their lives. Motorcyclists, traders, school children, and entire families are exposed to daily danger. The most painful consequence is borne by farmers. Communities such as Ijah Pada, Bowolo, Dabuta, Daka, and Tampe depend on this road to transport their produce to Kwali Market. Yams, maize, cassava, vegetables, and other goods rot in the villages because buyers cannot reach them. This has worsened poverty and food insecurity at a time when Nigerians are already battling high costs of living. This project, worth hundreds of millions, has turned into a symbol of betrayal. We are calling on the @icpcnigeria and @officialEFCC to investigate both the contractor and the supervising FCDA officials. Nigerians deserve to know why such a huge investment yielded nothing but abandoned earthworks and erosion. We appeal directly to the FCT Minister, @GovWike, who in 2024 pledged to complete this abandoned project. Sir, the community is counting on you. Their survival depends on this road. Completing it is not just about infrastructure, it is about justice, accountability, and restoring dignity to the people. #FixOurRoads

ATTENTION!!! Dear Governor @Kyusufabba We visited Kurna Asabe Primary School in Fagge LGA, Kano State. The entire school building is in ruins, the roof and ceiling are falling off, classrooms have no furniture, and pupils are left with no choice but to sit on bare floors to learn. This is the daily reality for children who deserve better opportunities and a safe place to acquire knowledge. While we acknowledge the Kano State Government’s recent declaration of a state of emergency in the educational sector and commend the ongoing renovations across the 44 LGAs, the condition of Kurna Asabe Primary School shows there is still a long way to go. This school and many others like it require urgent intervention if the promise of quality education for every child in Kano is to be achieved. We also call on the state government to liaise effectively with UBEC for the proper utilization of the ₦250 billion counterpart funding support available for renovating and upgrading public schools across Nigeria. With Kano being one of the states with the largest number of out-of-school children, these funds can and should be deployed transparently and effectively to change the narrative. The link between dilapidated school infrastructure and high out-of-school numbers cannot be ignored. When children are forced to sit on bare floors in leaking classrooms without chairs, desks, or learning facilities, parents are discouraged from sending them to school. This fuels illiteracy, child labour, and poverty, challenges that Kano has been battling for years. Fixing schools like Kurna Asabe Primary will have life-changing benefits. A safe and conducive learning environment encourages attendance, improves performance, and builds confidence in the public school system. It also assures parents that sending their children to school is worth the effort, thereby reducing the out-of-school population significantly. In the long term, this investment in education strengthens human capital development, reduces social vices, and ensures Kano’s children are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. Education is the most powerful tool for development, and no state can progress if its children are left behind. For Kano, the future depends on how well we prioritize education today. Kurna Asabe Primary School must not be abandoned to rot further, it deserves immediate attention. The time to act is now. #FixPublicSchools @NigEducation

Dear Governor @ubasanius The Kaduna State Government announced on April 4, 2025, that it had upgraded 225 Primary Health Centres (PHCs) across the state to Level-Two facilities equipped for emergency maternal and neonatal care. While this sounds like progress on paper, the lived reality in many communities tells a very different story. Recent field reports by @MonitNG reveal that several PHCs in Kaduna remain in a deplorable state, under lock and key, lacking basic amenities such as electricity, water, medical personnel, and even beds. A visit to the Kuringa Health Clinic in Giwa LGA, for example, showed no sign of functional healthcare delivery despite the renovation claims. If 225 PHCs have truly been upgraded, where are the details? Has there been any independent verification? Are these facilities staffed, equipped, and operational? The public has a right to see the list of upgraded PHCs, the status of each, and the specific services they now offer. In reality, many rural communities in Kaduna still depend on traditional medicine and face serious delays accessing care especially pregnant women and children. These hardships undermine the narrative of a revamped health system. The state government must move beyond press releases and provide transparency. Citizens deserve accountability through independent audits, public data on PHC performance, and real engagement with the people affected. Health care should not be reduced to headlines. It's about ensuring that every person, especially in underserved areas, has access to life-saving care when they need it most. Until the state can show tangible, verified results, this so-called upgrade remains questionable. #KadunaPHCs #FixOurPHCs @muhammadpate @Fmohnigeria

Dear Nigerians The recent announcement by the Minister of Aviation, @fkeyamo that the Federal Executive Council has approved ₦712 billion for the renovation of Murtala Muhammed International Airport Terminal 1 in Lagos has drawn mixed reactions across the country. No doubt, the terminal has long required a significant facelift to meet international standards. Anyone who has passed through the airport can attest to the outdated infrastructure, inefficiencies, and poor user experience. However, the sheer size of the approved amount ₦712 billion,is raising serious concerns, especially at a time when millions of Nigerians are struggling under the weight of rising food prices, worsening unemployment, collapsing public schools, and a failing healthcare system. This development brings back painful memories of inflated contracts, abandoned projects, and white elephant initiatives that never served the people. Nigerians are not opposed to infrastructure development or modern airports. What citizens demand, and rightly so, is prudent use of public funds, clear justification for spending on that scale, and assurance that this won’t end up as another opportunity for waste or corruption. At a time when communities across the country lack basic social services children learning under trees, hospitals without beds, and rural roads washed away by floods government spending of this magnitude must be transparent, justified, and closely monitored. The public has every right to demand a full breakdown of this project’s scope, cost components, and expected outcomes. Nigerians have seen too much to accept grand announcements at face value. This project must not be shielded from scrutiny. Citizens expect transparent procurement processes, independent oversight, and strict accountability mechanisms in place to ensure this money delivers real value. The government must also provide clear timelines, publicly accessible reports, and consequences for underperformance or failure. Anything less would be a disservice to a population already burdened by hardship. This isn’t just about an airport, it’s about how government prioritises the needs of the people, how it manages public resources, and whether it listens to the voices of those it serves. In a time of deep economic strain, Nigerians are watching and history will remember how this moment was handled. #GetInvolved #AskQuestions
