Many Nigerians have reacted with outrage after a new plane was bought for President Bola Tinubu at a time when the economy is experiencing its worst crisis in a generation.
The purchase comes less than two weeks after thousands took to the streets across the country to protest at rising hunger and the cost of living.
Elected last year to lead Africa’s most populous country, Mr Tinubu has introduced several economic reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidies, which have contributed to high inflation, currently over 30%.
President Tinubu said the reforms were necessary to cut government spending and stimulate long-term growth.
