Tinubu’s minister of sports & N12 billion Olympic failure,John Enoh buys new N150m vehicle amid bitting economic hardship
The Minister of Sports, John Enoh, has made headlines after acquiring a new Toyota Prado LC300 3.5L Twin Turbo Auto leather seat, valued at N142.7 million.
This luxury purchase has raised eyebrows, given the current economic challenges facing Nigerians.
Investigations also reveal that the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Gusau, enjoyed a similar benefit.
On May 21, 2024, the NFF spent N87.3 million on an official vehicle for Gusau, purchasing it from Mujaf Automobile Nigeria Ltd.
In the 2024 budget, it was noted that the Minister intended to spend N300 million on two vehicles – a Toyota Prado and a Lexus Jeep RX 570. With the Prado now acquired, attention has turned to these expenditures.
Furthermore, records show that the NFF spent N37 million on auditing services over two years, with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) receiving N18.8 million in May 2024 for the 2023 audit, an identical amount for 2022, and N9.4 million in July 2021 for the 2020 audit.
