Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has described the 2026 Appropriation Act as compromised, following revelations that the Federal Cooperative College, Oji River, Enugu State, was allocated ₦1.08 trillion to execute 2,791 capital projects across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory FCT.
In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, the African Democratic Congress ADC presidential candidate commended Tracka for an independent analysis he said exposed one of the most troubling cases of budget distortion under the Tinubu administration.
Atiku said the disclosure undercuts the Presidency’s insistence that painful reforms, higher taxes and heavy borrowing reflect prudent economic management.
“Nothing exposes the hollowness of that claim more than a budget that turns a federal cooperative college into one of Nigeria’s largest project-implementing agencies,” he said.
