Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has questioned a provision in the 2026 Appropriation Act allocating ₦1.08 trillion to Federal Cooperative College, Oji River, Enugu State for the execution of 2,791 capital projects across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). “Nothing exposes the hollowness of that claim more than a budget that turns a federal cooperative college into one of Nigeria’s largest project-implementing agencies,” he said. “Who decided that a cooperative college should become one of Nigeria’s biggest ministries by stealth? Who nominated these projects, who approved them, who will supervise them, and who will be held accountable?” “A government that plans to spend ₦1.08 trillion through a cooperative college cannot claim to be fighting waste or promoting fiscal discipline.
