A claim circulating on social media alleges that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration is spending ₦9 billion on the construction of churches and mosques while many schools, hospitals, and roads across the country require urgent attention.
The claim has fueled criticism from some Nigerians, who argue that public funds should be prioritized for critical sectors such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, and security.
However, the government has previously stated that its budgetary priorities include investments across multiple sectors, and any specific claim about public spending should be verified against official budget documents and announcements.
The issue has sparked broader discussions about government spending priorities and the allocation of public resources.
