The coffins were allegedly bought at N40, 000 each according to a blogger and critic, Jamil Maba.
Governor of Kastina state, Aminu Masari, accused of procuring coffins and distributing them to mosques
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.
The country is also facing recession which has seen the prices of food skyrocketing.
