This news has been met with outrage by many Nigerians, who are struggling to make ends meet in the face of rising inflation and economic hardship.
Many people are questioning the need for such expensive vehicles for lawmakers, especially when there are so many other pressing needs in the country.
Some Nigerians are saying that the money used in buying these expensive imported vehicles would have been used to buy locally assembled vehicles from Innoson motors and by so doing create more employment, save scarce foreign exchange and empower local manufacturers.
