FG To Buy N400m Vehicles For Obasanjo, Jonathan Others by Flame4chi(m): 9:35am On Dec 28, 2016 |
The Federal Government will spend N400m on the
purchase of vehicles for the nation’s former heads of
government and their deputies in 2017.
The figure formed part of the N9.882bn budgeted for
the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation for the year.
According to the details of the 2017 Appropriation Bill
currently before the National Assembly obtained by
our correspondent on Tuesday, N280.099m was
budgeted for the purchase of vehicles for seven
former Presidents and Heads of State.
Further details showed that N120.090m would be
used to procure vehicles for four former Vice-
Presidents and ex-Chiefs of General Staff.
The nation’s seven living former heads of government
include Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.); Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo, Alhaji Shehu Shagari; Gen. Ibrahim
Babangida (retd.); Chief Ernest Shonekan; Gen.
Abdusalami Abubakar (retd.); and former President
Goodluck Jonathan.
The four living former Vice-Presidents and ex-Chiefs
of General Staff are former Vice-President Alex
Ekwueme; Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe (retd.); Gen.
Oladipo Diya (retd.), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and former
Vice-President Namadi Sambo.
The budget details did not indicate the number of
vehicles that would be bought for each of the former
leaders. The brands of the vehicles were also not
disclosed.
Apart from the leaders, the office of the SGF will also
buy N32m vehicles for offices and units in the office.
The government will also spend a total of N170m on
the nation’s Independence Day and Democracy Day
celebrations.
While Nigeria’s Democracy Day holds every May 29,
Independence Day holds every October 1.
Both ceremonies have not been marked lavishly since
the inception of the present administration.
The office is also expected to spend N1.322bn on the
procurement and installation of security system
across selected Ministries, Departments and
Agencies.
The number of MDAs that will benefit from the
procurement is not disclosed in the details.
The office will also spend N104.586m on what it
called support and maintenance of e-council
document management; it will spend N290m on
electronic document and content management
system and another N45m on electronic document
management and archival system in the OSGF.
Upgrading and maintenance of Council Chambers
Conference System will gulp N55m; N35m will be
spent on one Xerox D125 photocopy machine;
N20.8m on purchase of 52 laptop computers;
N54.35m for the purchase of equipment for the
production of staff identity cards and installation of
file tracking system; and N5m for the OSGF website.
Another N3.8m is budgeted for the purchase of what
is called multi-functional photocopy machine for the
Procurement Department and N29.5m for archival
project Phases I, II and III for cabinet secretariat
document and file organisation. source: http://punchng.com/fg-buy-n400m-vehicles-obasanjo-jonathan-others/ |

Nice country. These guys have been in government. They get their pensions and many other allowances. Yet we budget for cars for them. People who contributed nothing,polarised the country, promoted nepotism,promoted corruption,..just have a filled day naming all the administrative vices and you will be correct. In America, ex presidents are paid hugely. In fact very huge if you do a conversion. This is Based on the Former Presidents Act of 1958. But at least we know they worked and created value. And they did no bleed their country dry. |
