In a staggering revelation, the budget allocation for the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President in Nigeria has witnessed an exponential surge, reaching an outstanding ₦21.22 billion in the fiscal year of 2024.
This astronomical increase denotes a stark contrast to the relatively modest figures of the preceding years, as disclosed by Statisense, a leading data analysis firm.
According to the data provided by Statisense, the budget for the Chief of Staff’s office stood at ₦24.35 million in 2020, experiencing a gradual ascent to ₦76.55 million in 2021.
However, the trajectory took a monumental leap in 2022, soaring to ₦526.47 million, and maintaining a high allocation in 2023 at ₦517.95 million which then took a sudden surge to over ₦21 billion in 2024.
