The Nigeria Police Force is to spend a whopping N125, 629,606 million on its dogs in 2014.
The amount is contained in the Police budget proposal submitted to the National Assembly by President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja last week. The presentation was made on his behalf by his Minister for Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
The budget for the dogs is part of the N292,351,812,085 billion budgeted for the police for the year.
A breakdown of the proposal shows that Construction of Force Headquarters (FHQ) dog section barrack offices and kernels will cost N60,081,151m while the Development of Police Veterinary dogs breeding centre, also at the FHQ, Abuja will cost N29, 544,748m.
The Police also budgeted the sum of N35, 993,707 million for the procurement of dogs handling equipment and feeding.
The police also expect to spend N277, 968,292 million on the procurement of arms and ammunition.
At least, on the bright side, the dogs will get good food to eat out of N125.6m while some citizens die of hunger.

These dogs will simple die of hunger the very week they are brought into this country. do u remember at one time, when the eagles refuse to fly cos they were too weak from hunger? Secondly, these dogs will not even be bought. its another avenue to loot.

Oh dear. Nigeria is not really a dog caring nation ( based on the number of stray dogs seen on the streets and the fact that most households do not buy dog food but give their pets leftover food from the family pot) how will this work?
