Nigeria: IPoB's Ejiofor Accuses Wike of Extravagance in Hardship Period

  • Social critic Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor has accused FCT Minister Nyesom Wike of allocating a substantial monthly budget, running into hundreds of millions of naira, towards an extravagant media program in 2025.
  • Ejiofor condemned the expenditure amid Nigeria’s severe economic challenges, including rising prices, stagnant income levels, and increasing hardship, asserting that the funds were being allocated inappropriately.
  • He illustrated the waste, noting that one media edition's cost could fund emergency relief, refurbish schools, equip clinics, or sustain nutrition in IDP camps.
  • Ejiofor said, "The time to act is now," urging President Tinubu to halt the costly media show and redirect funds toward service delivery.
  • The accusation suggests urgent government action is needed to prioritize competent governance and prudent spending rather than costly public engagements during hardship.
