The news broke today about how Babatunde Raji Fashola, the former governor of Lagos State, used N78.3million of Lagos tax-payers money on his personal website.
In tweets and retweets, commentators have been expressing derision and disgust that the former governor could have approved such a questionable expenditure under his watch.
The consensus is that the cost was grossly exaggerated and over-inflated.

Our expert in web developing has stated that a WordPress website, like
tundefashola.com should not cost more than N3million.
The story was broken by BudgIT, quoting a budget report on the website of the Lagos State Public Procurement Agency.
The contract was awarded in 2014 to “Info Access Plus Limited”. A Google search by TheNEWS did not turn anything out about the company.
