President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will spend N3.4 billion on feeding and travel expenses in 2021.
The President Buhari approved about N2.6 billion of the amount for his office, and about N873 million was earmarked for Osinbajo’s office.
The last five years, travel expenses have taken the largest chunk of these expenses.

On the other hand, Osinbajo will spend N801 million on his travels for the year – N284 million locally and N517.1 million outside the shores of the country.
Meanwhile, the meal bill for the offices of President Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo has been pegged at N195.5 million. The first family will spend N124 million.
