This infographic points out the stark contrast in government spending priorities, showcasing how workers’ taxes are being misallocated. In 2024 alone, ₦705.41 billion came from PAYE (Pay As You Earn) taxes, contributed by teachers, nurses, civil servants, and private-sector workers. While these individuals are already struggling with rising rent, food prices, and insecurity, the taxes they pay are not being used to fund essential services like healthcare, housing, or safety. Instead, the money is being used to fund luxury perks for 40 lawmakers, making it a betrayal of public trust.

The key takeaway is the demand for a more equitable distribution of tax revenue, focusing on essential services that benefit the entire population, rather than enriching the political elite.
