The management of the National Assembly is disposing off office equipment to outgoing members of the National Assembly at rock bottom prices, The Nation has gathered.

Payment for the equipment such as computers, scanners, photo copying machines, television sets and refrigerators will be deducted from the severance package of the beneficiaries.

Some non-returning federal legislators were seen on Friday moving such office equipment into waiting trucks and Sport Utility Vehicles.

Although some of the lawmakers gave the acquired items to their aides and supporters, others chose to sell theirs to willing buyers within the National Assembly complex.

Some National Assembly workers were shocked at the development, especially at what they called the ridiculously low prices the items were being given away.

One of them said: “It is unfortunate because the equipment cost much more than what they are being given out for. It is no excuse that the equipment are tagged used because you can’t get them for those ridiculous prices outside.

“Meanwhile, incoming lawmakers must be provided with a new set of these equipments. What is wrong with these ones being given away that the incoming lawmakers cannot use, even for the next four years. Why do they have the Maintenance Department if any of the equipment breaks down?”

In a memorandum sighted by our Correspondent, 11 office items cost a total of N367,479.33.

The breakdown showed that a Samsung double door refrigerator was given out for N25,000; HP Envy Core 13, N49,000; Apple Ipad Air computer , N41,980; LED TV Samsung UA4600AR 50, N59,500.

Shredding machine, N19,800; Water dispenser with bottle, N8,990; Photocopying machine Sharp Copier AR 6021 N57,172.00; Scanner HP Scanjet Pro 3900 Fi N20,130.00; HP Laserjet Pro M201 N10,038.00; Desktop Computer Model Envy 23″ Touch screen; and Suit hanger N1,900.00.

Any member taking the entire 11 items would pay N349,970,50, with N17,498.83 as VAT for items.

Sources put the current market value of the items at over N3m with a Led television going for N300,000; HP Envy Core 13, N400,000; HP Desktop Envy23″. N420,000; Samsung double door refrigerator, N315; Sharp Copier AR6023, N380; HP Laserjet M201 dw, N120,000; HP Scanjet Pro 3500F1, N195,000; and Cway water dispenser, N50,000.

Chaiii

Inagine they re even selling it

Propaganda at its peak. Is that d rock bottom prices? A propaganda to make EFCC intimidate NASS management against next election. When it was alleged that some persons were buying USD at below N50 and selling at above N400, this paper never reported.
Besides, these prices are fair. How much do they ecpect them to sell d items? Companies even sell cars for N100k.

Anyone that knows any of the lawmakers that wish to resell should email me asap. That are desperate and deserted now.

Our Government and mismanagement.

Samsung double door refrigerator was given out for N25,000

This item has a market value of over 700k.
What happened to this

What is wrong with these ones being given away that the incoming lawmakers cannot use, even for the next four years. Why do they have the Maintenance Department if any of the equipment breaks down?”

Management of NASS indeed.
What a name.

Why selling it? Was those items bought with their personal money?

And the new set of legislature will need to budget extra on the new sets of items.

Bad Management
