The House of Representatives on Thursday
defended its decision to buy exotic cars for its 360 members at a
period the country’s economy is in recession.
It said lawmakers must have a means of
mobility while carrying out oversight duties over Ministries,
Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government.
The House will spend at least N3.6bn
across 24 months to complete payment for the luxury vehicles supplied
by the Kaduna-based Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited.
