The federal government allocates a total of ₦ 1.2 trillion for public‑service salaries to three ministries: Health, Education and Infrastructure. Let the gross allocation to Education be \(E\) billion naira. Health receives twice the gross amount allocated to Education, i.e., \(2E\) billion. Each ministry's gross allocation is reduced by a 5\% administrative overhead before the net amount is disbursed. The sum of the net amounts equals the total budget of ₦ 1.2 trillion. If the net amount received by the Education ministry is ₦ 190 billion, determine the gross allocation to the Infrastructure ministry (in billions of naira), rounded to two decimal places.
