The House of Representatives, on Wednesday, exhibited its disdain for made-in Nigeria products as
it refused to patronise 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.
