The announcement by the governor of north-east Nigeria's Adamawa state that he was appointing a 47-strong media team has been met with anger and ridicule.
Ahmadu Fintiri's tweet listing all the names has been viewed a million times, according to the social media site.
There are:
- Two special advisers
- Ten senior special assistants
- And 35 "special assistants social media and content creation"
"I'm confident that this diverse and talented team will play a crucial role in enhancing our communication efforts and strengthening our public engagement," the governor wrote.
Reacting underneath, people have been asking why he needs such a huge group.
Some responded on X, previously known as Twitter, with laughter emojis and memes.
One person joked that even Nollywood stars didn't have such large media teams.
Staying with the theme, another said that "maybe this man wants to open a media production company to rival Universal Studios".
In an angry comment, one tweeter asked how the governor planned "to reduce the cost of governance with so much advisers on media only".
The state of people's personal budgets is on the minds of many in Adamawa state and beyond as prices continue to rise.
Last weekend, looters raided warehouses in the state capital, Yola, in a move that was seen by some as a response to the increasing difficulties that people are facing.
