Amid the coronavirus pandemic affecting Nigeria and all parts of the world, Nigerian house of Representative members just took delivery of the Toyota Camry 2020 version.
On a closed door session on February 5, 2020, the Reps had resolves to purchase 400 units of the car brand but wuith the current pandemic ravaging the country , one would have expected the Reps to pause their plans for now and use the money to invest in our defective healthcare system but that was obviously not the case as news reaching us says they purchased the V6 variant of the car.
A check on the website of Toyota revealed that each of the vehicles – depending on the variant, has a price tag of between US$25,000 to US $35,000, excluding the cost of shipping and custom duties, which is about 100 per cent of the actual cost of each unit.
For instance, those with higher specification, which most often than not is the preferred choice of lawmakers, could cost tax payers a tidy sum. Vehicles in this range are: XLE at $29,455, XLE V6 at $34,580, XSE at $30,005 and XSE V6 at $35,130.
Already, about 14 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado sports utility vehicles have already been handed out to presiding as well as other principal officers and chairmen of select House committees.
