Amid the harsh economic reality that Nigerians currently face, worsened by the removal of fuel subsidies, the House of Representatives has announced its finalized plans to distribute official vehicles for members of the 10th National Assembly.

In a statement, the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs Chairman, Akin Rotimi, said the management is procuring and distributing the vehicles to the members over the coming weeks and months.

According to Akin Rotimi, this development is by extant procurement laws and has been practiced in previous assemblies.

He stressed that this is not peculiar to the Legislature, as unelected government officials in the Executive arm of government, from the Assistant Director level and above, in most cases, have official vehicles attached to their offices.
