Nigerians Mock Senator Ben Bruce's Comments on Education Budget

Senator representing Bayelsa West Senatorial district, Ben Murray Bruce, yesterday evening took to his twitter handle to emphasize the need for Nigerian government to spend more on education and also, called on Nigerians to support his call to have 20% of the budget devoted to education.



He tweeted: “Nigeria needs education not destruction. We must not put our money on the wrong unction. If we spend less on education, we will spend more on security. If we spend more on education we will spend less on security. Therefore, the best way to fight insecurity is through education.



“I have consistently called on the FG to devote the lion’s share of our budgets to education. I hereby urge all Nigerians who love progress and to join me. Identify your Senator. Pick up the phone and ask them to support my call to have 20% of our budget devoted to education.”





However, his call was met with mockery from some Nigrerian twitter users, who hit back on him asking him how many people have his phone number in his constituency.
