Dalung demands breakdown of Plateau govt’s N10.1bn travel spending

The government also said the expenditure included overseas training for lecturers of Plateau State University, Christian pilgrimage, judiciary-related travel, official travel by the House of Assembly, sponsorship of 200 students to India and medical assistance for citizens abroad.

Mr Dalung made the demand in a statement posted on his verified Facebook page, following the state government’s clarification that the expenditure covered travel, transport and related activities across the wider public service and did not represent spending on Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s travels alone.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Plateau State Government said the figure covered the wider public service, including ministries, departments and agencies, tertiary institutions, the judiciary and the State House of Assembly.
