Group slams National Assembly over purchase of luxury SUVs as official cars

The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) has condemned the decision of the National Assembly to spend billions on procurement of official cars at a time when Nigerians are grappling with economic hardship.

CSJ, in a statement on Tuesday, co-signed by Victor Emejuiwe, Good Governance manager and Sundayson Chidi, Public Finance Management manager, described the action of the lawmakers as insensitive and asked them to return the vehicles.

The group stated that “right thinking” Nigerians are troubled by purchase at a time when Nigeria is facing fiscal challenges.
