Nasarawa is among states without a ventilator to help in the fight against coronavirus pandemic, but the state governor, Abdullahi Sule has bought 24 Toyota Hilux vehicles for state lawmakers, estimated at nearly N500 million. There are 169 ventilators nationwide spread across only 16 states, Daily Trust exclusively reported last week.

On Thursday, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases rose to 407 , with 128 patients discharged after treatment and 12 deaths reported. Speaker of Nasarawa House of Assembly, Ibrahim Abdullahi, on Monday stated that Abdullahi gave the 24 Toyota Hilux to the lawmakers as official vehicles. At an average cost of N21m per car, they are worth a combined total of N504m.

Some Medical and Health Workers in the state on Thursday protested non-payment of their March salary by Doma local government. They threatened to embark on industrial action from Friday, if they are not paid.

Cost of ventilator
Findings reveal that a hospital-grade ventilator cost between $25,000 (N9.175m) and $50,000 (N18.350m), using the Central Bank’s official exchange rate of N367 for a dollar.

I don't know how true this is. But if it is true, It is really sad. Ranting online will do nothing except taking necessary actions beyond tribe or affiliated party one supports. I think the people in that state should state what they want.

Nigerian leaders just don't give a f**k and you have to respect them for that. That is why Nigeria will continue to remain the corruption and poverty capital of the world.

Keep quiet

Whether aboki or not, every governor treats his legislature well so as to pocket them.

No governor is an exception
