THE Borno State Government has earmarked N150 million for the feeding of sheep and goats kept within the Government House, according to details contained in the state’s 2026 budget estimates.
The allocation, listed under recurrent expenditure, was captured in the approved budget documents published on the official website of the state government.
The provision is understood to cover the cost of animal feed and routine upkeep for the livestock maintained at the Government House.
A breakdown of the estimates did not immediately specify the number of animals involved or the duration the funds are expected to cover.
However, officials familiar with the budget process said such provisions are typically made annually for the maintenance of livestock used for official functions and ceremonial purposes.
The development has sparked mixed reactions among residents and civil society groups, with some questioning the size of the allocation at a time when the state continues to grapple with humanitarian challenges and post-insurgency recovery needs.
As of the time of filing this report, the Borno State Government had not issued an official statement explaining the rationale behind the N150 million provision.
