Jonathan Budgets Millions Of Naira For Animals

According to Punch,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
