While Nigerians lament the state of the economy, the Katsina state governor, Aminu Bello Masari, has reportedly bought 3,000 coffins which he distributed to mosques.

The coffins were allegedly bought at N40, 000 each according to a blogger and critic, Jamil Maba.

Mabai took to his Twitter handle to reveal the development and wondered why, instead of paying workers and bringing solution to the trouble in the land, the governor was buying coffins with public funds.

In many states in Nigeria, workers are owed various amounts in salaries and arrears while pensioners have severally protested alleged neglect.
