Every opportunity for this NigeriaGov to loot is highly welcomed, abacha's loot will be like child's play when recovery of looted funds from this present regime commence in the future.

Why don't you just share that money among us

Dem don cash out 🙄

This is total madness... Minimum wage salary areas is still been own the federal government workers, and it's just a fraction of this amount... Who bewitched this government?

$1bn on vaccines for how many people? Is the government seriously unaware of the real issue of hunger ravaging the land. Yes there is COVID but it’s not nearly as rampart or destructive as hunger, malaria and other basic issues of deprivation in the land, misplaced priority!

Which was fraud lol another cashing

Phew! They've added the astronomical amount of money they will loot to it.

Oh my goodness, why is this government bent on exploiting Nigeria. Covid isn’t as escalated in Nigeria as you politicians seem to place it. STOP THE STEAL!!! StopTheSteal
