Villa Zoo: Jonathan Budgets Millions Of Naira For Animals by DonColz1(m): 1:19am On Dec 24, 2013 |
The Presidency will next year spend N34.5m on two wild animals for the State House Zoo and car trackers for presidential ground fleet as well as utility vehicles. Out of the sum, N14.5m was set aside in the 2014 budget as the cost of the two animals whose names were not given and N20m for the trackers. Extra N2m is expected to be expended on two fleet tracking base stations. These are contained in the details of the Appropriation bill presented by President Goodluck Jonathan through the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to the National Assembly last week. Also contained in the plan is the sum of N50m for the improvement of electrical installations inside the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Apart from the amount earmarked for the animals, N8m is budgeted for the upgrading and maintenance of the State House zoo. The renovation of the horses’ stables/paddock for the zoo will gulp N15m. About N5m will also be spent on the purchase of wildlife capture equipment. The N50m was appropriated at a time work is already ongoing on new N2.2bn banquet hall approved for the Villa by the Federal Executive Council in November 2012. The electrification project was however marked “ongoing” in the budget details to give an indication that work had already started and would be completed under the new budget. Projects that will be carried out in the State House Medical Centre in the new year include the building and installation of oxygen/other gases generating plant at N70m; construction of VIP Wing -N1.3bn; completion of extension of Dental Wing, N50m; construction of central sterilising building,N50m and the provision of MRI building and mortuary conversion at the cost of N17.5m. An X-ray machine will be purchased at a cost of N35m; mammography machine, N60m; embalming machine, N1.65m and hydraulic post-mortem table,N4m. The purchase of sports kits for the State House Sports Club will gulp N4. 2m. The remodeling of the new Vice-President’s Guest House at 1, Yakubu Gowon, Crescent, Asokoro will gulp N215m; completion and rehabilitation of security quarters at Mpape Artillery and Asokoro, N30m; rehabilitation of Presidential/ministerial chalet at Airport, Abuja, N10m; and the rehabilitation of medical centre’s service quarters, N50m. http://www.punchng.com/news/villa-zoo-jonathan-budgets-millions-of-naira-for-animals/ |

Later Jonathan would say that Nigeria has no money. But see the way he is wasting the money. The medical doctors are on strike, instead of him to pay them the money so that people would stop dying, he is trying to save the animals, is animals more important than human beings Like this post if you think that Jonathan is a confused person 15 Likes |

Ikengawo: Ngwakwe: 1. Quoting the most powerful and richest country in the world against your country where millions of your people live on less than a dollar a day sounds dumb, thoughtless, mindless, clueless and reetarded. 2. Quoting the most powerful and richest country in the world against your country where the joker you call president refused to spend 1 kobo on your 2nd Niger bridge, but budgets millions for animals and their upkeep sounds dumb, thoughtless, mindless, clueless and reetarded. Maybe some animals are more important than you and your people. 3. In fact, you 2 are dumb, thoughtless, mindless, clueless and reetarded. 14 Likes |

Oh well thank God he didn't budget billions for it. I was expecting to see billions of naira for state zoo but I was disappointed. He is a Zoologist so he deserves to have a Zoo. A medical doctor without a stethoscope is not fit to be called a medical doctor. 2 Likes |

Can you tell me one thing GEJ have done that escaped your criticism and backlash? I would have taken you serious to debate the merits and demerits of the provision under discussion, the significance and it's worldwide acceptability. However, its obvious your cynicism and that of your boss frustrated sycophants wouldn't allowed for intelligent deliberations hence my desire to set you aside as a reprobate and not dignify you with further response. agbameta: |
