Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Media and Publicity, Hon. Abdulrassaq Namdas, had said all 360 members of the eight National Assembly will receive their official sport utility vehicle (SUV) valued at N17 million each by December.
Already, he said over 200 units of Peugeot 508 cars had been supplied to members, leaving a balance of 160 vehicle awaiting to be delivered.
His disclosure came against the backdrop of alleged protests by some members of the lower chamber who were yet to receive their cars since the inauguration of the current National Assembly. Addressing journalists over the weekend, Namdas said there appeared to be a misconception on the mode of delivery of the vehicles. He said the vehicles were to be supplied by instalments and not at once as being misconstrued in some quarters. Some of the lawmakers had expected that given the National Assembly’s N10 billion increase in the 2017 budget, the orders for the remaining vehicles ought not to tarry. GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
