N1.5 million Naira monthly upkeep for 2 lions in Nigeria

IT is one of the disturbing paradoxes which characterise the polity in Nigeria that the state government in Nasarawa spends about 18 million Naira per annum for the upkeep of two lions now under the care of the National Commission for Museums and Monuments in its Zoological Garden in Jos. Prior to being moved to the Zoological Garden in Jos, the lions had served the erstwhile Governor of Nasarawa State, Alhaji Abdulahi Adamu, as part of his security detail, which he allegedly deployed to ward off perceived enemies in the Government House, Lafia!
