Why Buhari Approved N1.15bn Vehicles For Niger Republic – FG

The Federal Government has explained that it approved the purchase of ten vehicles at N1,145,000,000 for the Niger Republic to enhance its security as it relates to Nigeria.

Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, disclosed this while briefing State House Correspondents after the week’s hybrid Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
A popular social media influencer, David Hundeyin, had in one of his posts ‘exposed’ the approval, which was given by President Buhari on February 28, 2022, drawing reactions from Nigerians.

Reacting to a question on the matter during the briefing, Ahmed explained that though Nigerians have the right to ask questions on the government’s activities, Buhari also has the right to make his assessment of situations and act accordingly.
