The Federal
Government has justified the approval of the sum of N1, 145,000,000.00 for the
purchase of vehicles for the Niger Republic.
Following the
outrage generated by the measure exposed by a popular social media influencer,
David Hundeyin, on Wednesday, the Minister of Finance, Budget and National
Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, argued that even though Nigerians have the right to
question, President Muhammadu Buhari, who approved the purchase also has the
right to make his own assessment on situations and act accordingly.
Responding to
questions during the post-Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over
by President Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday, she said
Nigeria has a policy of assisting its neighbours to strengthen its capacity to
deal with insecurity.
The document
released by the media influencer showed that the president approved the release
of the fund on the 22nd of February this year.
The contract to supply the 10 units of Toyota Land Cruisers was awarded to
IFO Kaura Motors Nig. Limited.
