In tweets and retweets, commentators have been expressing derision and disgust that the former governor could have approved such a questionable expenditure under his watch.
The consensus is that the cost was grossly exaggerated and over-inflated.
A WordPress website, like Tunde Fashola.com should not cost more than N3million, according to expert opinions.
The story was broken by BudgIT, quoting a budget report on the website of the Lagos State Public Procurement Agency.
The contract was awarded in 2014 to “Info Access Plus Limited”. A Google search by TheNEWS did not turn anything out about the company.
Here are sample tweets on the contract;
How can you build a Wordpress website for 78 million naira? Are you mad? Or am I the mad one for thinking you might be mad? #Nigeria

Not even website construction o. It's an "upgrade". A personal website. 78m naira.
Goodnight Abeg.

Why should a personal website be funded by government? That is the ab initio question. https://t.co/2IwGCF2LBR

I am glad @BudgITng brought this website upgrade issue up. If it were the regular suspects under bourdillion's payroll, I will ignore.

This must be a designer website made from Louis Vuitton Wordpress Template. The plugins are all exclusively designed by Christian Louboutin.
