More troubles are indeed facing both the aviation ministry and its embattled Minister, Ms Stella Oduah. This comes on the heels as the Lagos State Government denies any involvement in the ordering of bulletproof vehicles, BMW 7 series cars, during the 18th National Sports Festival, hosted by the State. It maintained that the state only requested for and got from Coscharis regular saloon cars, four wheel drive vehicles and buses in its capacity as official vehicle providers for the Sports Festival.

A statement signed by the Commissioner for Youths, Sports and Social Development, Mr. Enitan Oshodi, said that following the offer of sponsorship of and provision of vehicles for the Festival by Coscharis Nigeria Limited, the state government duly made a request to President Goodluck Jonathan for waiver of destination inspection charges and duty exemptions on 300 vehicles which were to be used for the festival. According to the statement, which sought to set straight ‘information making the rounds with regards to the vehicles requested from and supplied by Coscharis Nigeria Limited for use at the immediate past 18th National Sports Festival hosted by the Lagos State from November 27 to December 9, 2012’: "The request was duly granted by the President leading to the issuance of a Certificate of Waiver in respect of the duty payable on the importation of the cars, by Coscharis Nigeria Limited.

Mr Oshodi added that “The Lagos State Government would therefore like to put it on record that documents exist to show the vehicles which were supplied and used during the 18th NSF.

Forget Oduah for now, we know she is a thief on a grand scale.

What I am however interested in is the current status of those 300 vehicles. In whose possession are they now and what are they currently being used for? Were these vehicles contracted on a lease or were they outright purchases?

Lagos state is not gonna go Scot free without answering some hard questions. Just because we have caught one thief does not make you angels yourselves.

An inquiry must be launched into the purchase or lease of those vehicles too.

All of una na thieves!

Only a few more like you and this country will Change.

...300 cars?...that's alot...do the logistics of such an event warrant that many new vehicles?..

why not hire local transporters?...and as the first poster rightly asked; what became of these vehicles after the event?..

just thinking ...so....i stand to be corrected ..


..as for Oduah her own beans don done...

But dis is confusing please could some1 help me out, I tot it was d minister of finance dat said she only signed waiver for the purchase of 300 cars for the lagos State government which the CEO of coscharis was giving d contract but the coscharis guy used the same waiver to bring in d 2 BMW which come out to #10million (+-) which involved d DG, I didn't fink Odoah said anything about the lagos state government buy BMW, she didn't even mention dem, d Finance minister did. So abeg if am wrong correct me.

I stand by you on this statement.

We want to know if the proposal was bidded and how was Coscharis selected as winner of the bid.

We want to know, since this was a national festival, and even though the order went out from Lagos State government, if the tab was picked up by Lagos or FG.

Word!

Even the last Olympic no use 300 cars, fashola, Ben nwabueze must come and clarify this. On top that the 2 armoured cars for himself and the thief of iyaloja is yet to be .........

Desola:

Don't twist my word jo!

Ahh, after i finish twisting your word, I go twist you too.

I wonder when we are going to have "desolagate".

Coscharis supplies Fords, Jaguars, Rover , Beamers so my question is that which of these models did he supply to LASG because I withnessed the sports festival well and can't remember seeing any of the models above being used in logistics capacity during the sports fiesta .

Why do most Nigerians act irresponsibly? At what point did Stella testify about waivers and Lagos State government? The testimony of waivers and Lagos State government came from Coscharis Motors Ltd.

madam desola,the vehicles were returned to the dealer,he had the same deal during coja games and chogum,he normally get waivers for such events,the sad part is that the guy use the waiver to bring in more cars than he requested waiver for.
