Nigerians on Wednesday have taken to Twitter to react to the approval of N37bn by President Muhammadu Buhari for the renovation of the National Assembly.
Okay.ng reports on Tuesday that the Senate President Ahmad Lawan announced the approval to newsmen in Abuja.
Lawan said that the funds were included in the 2020 budget, however, not part of the N128 billion already allocated for the National Assembly for next year.
Reacting to this development, Nigerians said N37bn was too much for such project which was built for N7bn.
Here are some reactions underneath:

How did they approve such idiocy: #37Billion Naira for renovation of the National Assembly & paltry #48 billion for capital expenditure in Education..No roads ..no good health facilities
What kind of Leadership is this? pic.twitter.com/DmMzFxpxIs

#37billion approved to renovate a house where 109 people sit down and do absolutely nothing to improve this country while many our roads, Schools, health care system etc are in bad conditions🙄.
Nigeria is a joke, the kind of joke that makes you weep not laugh !!!
