According to the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbeshola, these "ultra modern fire service trucks" cost whooping N1.8 billion.

The truck actual name is TGM 18.280 fire fighter truck, and the price is €195,000 in VAN VLIET.

Even if CBN sold euros to you at € 1 = ₦ 439 ( which I don't think so), then each truck should cost you ₦85,605,000 and ten should cost ₦856,000,000

Say with the shipping and clearing of these trucks you should still spend a maximum of 95 million naira each!

In other words, Rauf have swallowed the remaining 900 million naira

Bros did you comment on this topic on opera mini. I just read this comment verbatim on opera. But to be frank, I did that calculations too and you are right. So what aregbe stole as a two term governor is not enough? Coronavirus selects the wrong candidates indeed

khingTony:

Imagine
10 million Naira each for clearing.
That's 100Million Naira.
Had it been Ogbeni Rauf is wise, he would have saved Nigeria that money by patronising Innoson Motors. At least, there would be no need for clearing. 100Million can renovate 10 public schools in Nigeria.

mosegifted:
Lol... So you guys mean to tell me that one of those truck I'm seeing there is worth 180 million Nigeria currency, this government is the second worst thing to happen to Nigeria after the amalgamation of Nigeria by thief lordlurgard... Now get this very straight that truck your seeing they is not more than 12 million.... When

oga shat up and stop saying what u dont know

he don give himself contract CASH OUT heavy

tutudesz:
No clearing fee for government goods

I was wondering too when he mentioned clearing the trucks...

I think we need to challenge government to give account of there expenditure and show proof of payment from the exporting countries..

We can't continue to read and believe their lies

stop wasting money and those fire trucks can never cost that much for Christ sake moreover a fire truck is more effective when there are available fire hydrants around you cant think such trucks can quench fire using the water tank built into it. well i have said enough over to you my fellow Nigerians

You should be ashamed of what you just typed, how's 856m plus 95m roughly 1.8b?

Op didn't say 95m to clear 1 truck,
How can you even use 95m to clear one truck?


Cover that your shameless face

May God punish these carnibalistic politicians both dead and alive...

This Government is the worst government in terms of corruption in Nigeria. Ole government. Nigeria is a lost country. All government officials are Barawo.

you obviously don't do Government contract business in Nigeria, because if you do, you would have known that Government don't go to market to make purchases, contractors do.
So in addition to the price you quoted add first 30% importers profit from whom the contractor buys the trucks from.
Then 10%witholding tax, 10% or is it 7.5%VAT
Then sundry deductibles takes another 5%.
So in this very contract Government deducts 25%or 22.5%of the contract sum.
So already the actual value of the contract is approaching 1.4 billion Naira.
Take out party contribution and other extra expenses and the contractor is going home with about 350 million on a 1.8billion Naira contract.
If a bank funded the contract executiion, another 100million naira will go .
This is for a good case scenario.
What if Aregbe was changed as minister?
The contract may fail altogether and the contractor heading for his village broke or answering to EFCC over a failed bank loan.

Enough of this tax epistle bullshit

Why will federal government be taxing federal government?

please direct the question to the national Assembly that makes laws for the country.
Secondly, what I wrote is not bullshit.
You can make independent inquiries.

In saner countries this would have spark outrage and the minister resignation and prosecution but Nigeria is insane.
150 million for a truck that is not even modern.

Not everything is the way it is.

There might be servicing options and parts warranty that come with it.

When we procure Laptops, each costs almost twice what you have on the market because of add ons, extended warranties and a lot of extra package a regular Joe won't buy. Those things can double costs, also consider shipping and Contractor profit.

frog12:
how many times house dey burn in these states?

waste of money. put the money into better things

so dey should wait till fire start burning before dey procure fire trucks? How many fire trucks are in nigeria? I dont know about other states. But the federal fire service in lagos is in a sorry state...

Lagos state government are trying though. But their services is not efficient as expected

Respeck

Nigeria is full of corrupt people but all hiding under the toga of religion.

You mean say each truck is 180 million naira?!

Innoson produced better � fire trucks. This is trick of how they embezzle money

skedman:
180 million for one ,
however at least he bought something that we can physically see compare to the man that was there that could not buy one

The value of the naira has dropped, you know.
