Nigerian leaders will never stop their comedy, which has made governance an unserious business and a huge joke in the country.
Constitutionally, Nigeria is supposed to be a secular state. Unfortunately, governments at various levels have continued to sponsor and fund religious activities, promoting one religion above others.
This is why there was public outrage recently following revelations that the federal government earmarked a staggering ₦8.05 billion for the construction, renovation, and equipping of places of worship across the country in the 2026 budget.
The allocation was uncovered and made public by Tracka, a public accountability organisation under BudgIT.
According to the budget breakdown, the government allocated ₦1.91billion for projects tied to seven churches, while ₦6.14billion was earmarked for 52 mosque projects.
