JUST IN: Aisha Buhari Attacks Husband, FG
Wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari has criticised the Buhari-led administration for spending the sum of $16 million on mosquito nets.
Mrs Buhari expressed her reservations on the expenditure during an interactive session with women at the State House, Abuja on Saturday.
She also said that the implementation of the N500bn Social Investment Programmes (SIP) has failed in the North.
“I have heard about mosquito nets, Nigeria paid its counterpart fund, $16m. I asked them to give my own share of the net to send it to my village people. I didn’t get it.
“They have spent, $16m on buying mosquito nets, I did not get it, maybe some people have gotten it. But I feel that that’s my personal opinion, $16m is enough to fumigate mosquitoes in Nigeria. That’s my opinion,” she said.
