House of Representative members take delivery of new Peugoet cars

Members of the House of Representatives have taken delivery of 28 new Peugeot 508 series out of the 360 that is to be delivered to them before the end of the first quarter of next year. Sources at the National Assembly say 28 of the cars being provided by the Kaduna-based Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited were delivered last week while over 20 of the cars would be supplied this week.

The cars, according to the lawmakers, would be used during their oversight functions. Each member is expected to get one car and they are expected to drive in their cars whenever they go for oversight functions.

The lawmakers had in the 2016 budget allocated N3.6bn for the purchase of the cars at N10m each.
