109 Lawmakers To Get 2016 Model SUVs

According to a Punch investigation, the leadership of the Senate has placed orders for the purchase of 109 Sport Utility Vans for its members to carry out their oversight functions.

The leadership has also allegedly turned down a request by some chairmen of the 65 committees recently inaugurated by Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to change their preferred vehicles which hitherto had been Prado Jeeps already to Land Cruisers. Investigations showed that each of the vehicles would cost N16m. They were also said to have been ordered before the constitution of the 65 committees.
