Lagos Lawmakers Vote N348m For Cars, Each Member Gets N8.7 Million

Lawmakers of the Lagos State House of Assembly have approved N348 million for the  purchase of cars for  themselves.

They also approved the sum of N735 million for the purchase of bullet proof vehicles  for the state’s crime fighting outfit, Rapid Response  Squad, RRS.

The lawmakers did not specify the particular type of cars they were buying for  themselves but P.M.NEWS confirmed that the police  would be getting 10 Toyota  armoured personnel carriers from the approved amount.

The request for the approval of the said sum came from the State Ministry of Budget  and Economic Planning. The special expenditure is for the procurement of vehicles for members and principal  officers of the House.

Gbemi Saraki's bill for the police is making waves,but the problem is that they will use the avenue to steal enough for themselves.

Sorry is it 348 Million or 348 Billion? Because it is unusall to see things like this in Million rate is always Billions so i;m not sure its 348 Million yet, but if 348Million is the right figure then that means Nigeria is getting better because that amount only one person can say he used it to buy car and entourage to reach the assembly ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Procurement of cars, that's the only legislation known by our lawmakers in recent time. The other day I was in a local govt secretariat, I almost passed the place for a KIA car sales outlet cos the whole place was full of brand new kia cars and I was told that's how it is in all other local govt areas in Lagos State.

This is madness, shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

In a country like nigeria,state lawmakers can get Approxx $40,000 to purchase their own personal cars when in the US Federal congressmen don't get personal cars, some even use public transport.

another epic fail grin grin grin grin.

fix the broken roads first, knobheads in Lagos

Is this supposed to be a fair-well gift for themselves (as if they are not sure of winning in the upcoming election?)

Can Fashola veto this silly bill, or can it be amended to guarantee the cars are the property of the people of Lagos, to be used by members of the next assembly in 2011?


Other than that, it's simply a shame

was at the assembly some two days ago and saw some members driving in state of the art vehicles like TOYATA LANDCUISER,, SEQUILA, INFINITY Q56, CHASIS HONCA CARS ETC. What on earth do they need N348million for again? Well maybe if this shit will continue like this i will just try and lobby my way to the policy and also get my own share of this loot. Afterall it is our money. God dey
