Innoson vehicle
The House of Representatives have rejected moves on Wednesday for
Innoson's 'made-in Nigeria' SUVs to be purchased for its members as
official vehicles.
According to a report by PM news, the lawmakers refused to patronise the locally made vehicles for members’ oversight.
Recall that year in – year out, the lawmakers meet behind closed
doors, tagged executive sessions to discuss their welfare benefits,
among which are allowances and type of utility vehicles for their
oversight functions among other issues.
However at Wednesday’s plenary, where it had an executive session
as the only business of the day, it was reliably gathered that the
lawmakers declined a suggestion from a House member to purchase SUVs for
members from Innoson Motors based in Nnewi, Anambra State.
Sources said that the lawmaker who made the Innoson SUVs suggestion was shouted down.
Accordingly it was further learnt that the lawmakers insisted on
brand new imported SUVs against the locally assembled and made- in –
Nigeria brands.
