N195m on presidential trips... N225m for presidential emergency related expenses and N22m paid to personal accounts. Dear Nigerians, On today's #DiscoveriesFromGovspend, We discovered that the Presidency spent approximately ₦504 million in public funds between March and June 2026. Here is what the records show: ₦195m on presidential trips: In April 2026, three payments of ₦79m, ₦15m, and ₦100m were recorded for presidential trips and related expenses. ₦225m was spent on emergency-related expenses in June 2026. In April 2026, ₦61.8 million was spent on ceremonial helmets and 33 ceremonial aiguillettes, ranks, and files for the mounted troop. ₦7.13m for a presidential transition event in Egypt in April 2026 and ₦10m for a UK trade meeting in March 2026 These entries total approximately ₦504.02 million across the eight transactions shown. The expenditure descriptions raise important questions about spending priorities, value for money, and the public benefits delivered. The final three transactions, amounting to approximately ₦22 million, are also concerning because the records identify payments to personal accounts. Meanwhile, the Financial Regulations 2009, Chapter 7, Section 713, prohibit paying public funds into private accounts. At a time when citizens are facing rising living costs and public services remain under delivered, transparency is not optional. What were these payments intended to achieve? What value did Nigerians receive? And how were these expenditures justified?
