President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi
Gbajabiamila, will get N21 billion from the 2024 budget.
An analysis of the N27.7 trillion budget document recently
presented by Tinubu last week revealed this.
The country’s 2024 budget, christened ‘Budget of Renewed
Hope’, showed that the figure allocated for the office of the Chief of Staff is
a 97.5 per cent increase from the N517.95 million in 2023.
Other allocations showed that the State House headquarters will
get N40.61 billion, State House Operations (President) N9.1 billion, and State
House Operations (Vice-President) N3.14 billion.
Also, N260.5 billion was provided for the office of the
Chief Security Officer to the President, the State House Medical Centre got

A broader breakdown indicated that the Presidency will get
N272 billion, comprising N176.92 billion as personnel costs, N34.22 billion as
overhead costs, and N60.53 billion as capital expenditure.
This is an 83.59 per cent increase from the N148.16 billion
budgeted for the Presidency in 2023.
Meanwhile, outside the Presidency, the education sector will
get N2.18 trillion, the defence and security sector will get N3.25 trillion,
