A Federal High Court in Lagos has ruled that the National Assembly's N110 billion vehicle procurement and lawmakers' allowance scheme is illegal. The court characterized the scheme as arbitrary and self-serving, stating that it violates procurement laws and constitutional standards that govern public expenditure in Nigeria. This judgment was delivered in response to a lawsuit initiated by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP). The ruling underscores the need for adherence to legal and ethical standards in public financial management.
