A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos declares the National Assembly’s planned ₦110 billion spending on lawmakers’ vehicles and support allowances unlawful. The ruling is delivered by Justice Yellim Bogoro and relates to two components of the expenditure: about ₦40 billion to procure 465 SUVs for lawmakers and about ₦70 billion for support allowances for newly elected members. The court finds that the arrangement breaches Nigeria’s procurement laws and related procurement requirements. It also holds that the spending fails to meet constitutional obligations and violates the public trust. According to coverage, the court additionally takes into account Nigeria’s economic hardship, concluding that allocating such funds to lawmakers’ benefit is not consistent with prioritising national interest. Separate reports note reactions to the judgment, including praise from the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) and reference to litigation pursued with support from SERAP. Multiple outlets report that the judgment voids the National Assembly’s N110 billion vehicles and allowances vote, effectively stopping or invalidating the expenditure as ruled by the court.
