Obi Faults FG’s ₦142bn Bus Terminal Plan Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has criticised the Federal Government’s approval of ₦142 billion for the construction of ultra-modern bus terminals across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones. In a post on X, Obi described the project as a “misplaced priority,” arguing that it reflects poor judgment and lack of focus. He compared the allocation to the health sector, noting that the combined 2024 budget for all federal teaching hospitals and psychiatric centres is less than ₦100 billion. He stressed that health remains underfunded despite Nigeria’s rising challenges, including over 20 million citizens reportedly living with mental health issues, according to WHO. Obi called the decision a “tragic irony,” urging the government to focus scarce resources on critical sectors like healthcare. #PeterObi #FGBudget #NigeriaHealth #BusTerminalProject
