The State House Lagos Liaison Office also budgeted N2.7m for the same item while the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Millennium Development Goals budgeted N2m for it.

The National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, budgeted N5m for it while the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission allocated N6.67m to the same item.

The sum is meant for the headquarters of the ministries alone, excluding the different agencies and parastatals under them.

The budgeted sum is contained in the details of the 2020 Appropriation Bill that President Muhammadu Buhari presented to a joint session of the National Assembly last week.

The item was contained under the subhead of “Other Services-General” of the 19 ministries.

This allocation for cleaning and fumigation services is apart from the provision made for the maintenance of the building and other maintenance services in the ministries’ budgets.

It is only the Ministry of Information and Culture, Ministry of Police Affairs, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Women Affairs as well as the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development do not have distinct budgets for cleaning and fumigation.
