According to the source, “Governor Darius Ishaku asked the council to approve a memo he presented for the purchase of vehicles for himself, his deputy and their wives in our most recent SEC meeting, and it was swiftly approved without any argument.
He continued by saying that it was argued at the meeting that Mr Darius and his deputy deserved new vehicles as they prepared to leave office because they had been using old ones since they took office in 2015.
The governor will receive two Toyota Land Cruiser SUVs, two Toyota Hilux escort vehicles, and a utility vehicle under the proposal, while his wife will receive a Land Cruiser SUV and an escort vehicle.
The deputy governor, Haruna Manu, will also receive two Land Cruiser SUVs in lower trim levels as well as an escort vehicle, while his wife will receive an SUV and a utility vehicle.
