The Lagos State government has said it did not order
for bullet-proof vehicles BMW cars during the 18
National Sports Festival, which it hosted in 2012. The denial is coming on the heels of public outcry and
condemnation trailing the role of the state
government in the purchase of two armoured cars by
the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) for the
Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah. The state government said it only requested regular
saloon cars, four wheel-drive vehicles and buses,
which it got from Coscharis, in its capacity as the
official vehicle provider for the sports. A source close to the Commissioner for Youths, Sports
and Social Development, Mr. Enitan Oshodi told our
correspondent that the state government duly made a
request to President Goodluck Jonathan for waiver. According to the source, the state government
requested waiver of destination inspection charges
and duty exemption on 300 vehicles, which were to
be used for the festival. "Following the offer of sponsorship of and provision of
vehicles for the festival by Coscharis Nigeria Limited,
the state government made a formal request to the
President as requested by the sponsors, which was
granted. "The request was duly granted by the President to the
issuance of a certificate of waiver in respect of the
duty payable on the importation of the cars by
Coscharis Nigeria Limited," the source said. The state government official added that the state
government had in its possession documents to show
the vehicles were supplied and used during the 18th
National Sports Festival. The source further told our correspondent , the
vehicles requested from Coscharis Nigeria Limited,
which was the sponsor of the festival, were limited to
saloon cars, four wheel drive vehicles and buses to
convey the 14,000 athletes and 10,000 officials who
attended the festival across the country.
