Senate splashes N1.7bn on Jeeps for Senators

Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria might be taking delivery of their official Toyota Land Cruiser Jeeps this week, all things being equal. The cost per unit of the 2011 model of the Jeep obtained from the manufacturer's website is $100,724 - about N16,115, 840. The total cost of the vehicles for the 109 senators is put at over N1.7 billion. A competent source in the National Assembly disclosed that the senators opted for the Land Cruiser Jeep because of its unique features. When asked to confirm the story, a senator who spoke on condition of anonymity simply said "we have been on this issue for some time.''
