The Socio-Economic Right and Accountability Project, (SERAP) has called on President Bola Tinubu to reduce the N15.9 billion he earmarked for travel in the 2024 budget.
Making this call in a post on Tuesday night , the rights organisation argued that the spending is not in the interest of Nigerians.
The group enjoined President Tinubu to immediately cut the outrageous budget of N15.961 billion on travels in 2024 for himself, his vice president Shettima and their aides, saying the spending is neither necessary nor in the public interest.
Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima and their aides are to spend N15.961 billion on international and local travel in 2024.
The National Assembly is considering the figure in the 2024 Appropriation Bill.
If the National Assembly approves the figure, President Tinubu will spend a total of N6.992 billion on foreign trips and N638.535 million on travels within the country.
Similarly, Vice President Shettima would spend a total of N1.847 billion on international and local travel.
