Ekiti Government Allocates N300 Million for Abuja Governor’s Lodge After Spending N470 Million in 2025 Ekiti State has earmarked an additional N300 million in its 2026 budget for the construction of the governor and deputy governor's lodge in Asokoro, Abuja, despite already spending N470 million on the project earlier in 2025.

The development has sparked growing concerns about transparency and fiscal prudence in the management of public resources. #EkitiState #PublicFunds #GovernorLodge
