A review of public expenditure records has revealed that ₦10 million was spent on two industrial pressing irons for the Office of the Vice President, Kashim Shettima.

Data obtained from GovSpend, a civic tech platform that tracks government spending, shows the payment was made on June 24, 2023, via the State House Headquarters Transit Account.

The record, listed under “State House Operations – Vice President,” shows that Riteddy Resources Limited received the funds for the supply of “2 nos industrial pressing iron,” suggesting each iron cost ₦5 million.

The entry does not provide a breakdown of the items’ specifications or justification for the cost, raising questions about procurement transparency and value for money.

Earlier GovSpend data revealed that ₦6.8 million was reportedly spent on 20 litres of groundnut oil by the Pension Transitional Arrangement Department (PTAD), recorded on May 26, 2025.

For comparison, a typical 25-litre container of groundnut oil sells for around ₦52,000, with some brands listed at up to ₦100,000 in an online survey by Investigative Journalists, leaving it unclear how PTAD recorded the purchase at ₦6.8 million.

Additionally, a review of GovSpend shows that the Debt Management Office spent ₦52.1 million on staff tea in 2025. Records indicate that on August 29, 2025, Diamond Seasons Nigeria Limited received ₦8.6 million for tea covering May and June.
