Aso Rock: How N244m Was Spent On Tyres In One Day – Report

A whopping sum of N244,654,350 was spent by the State House for the purchase and supply of tyres in a single day.

According to a report by Daily Trust, investigation and data gathered from govspend, a portal documenting the Presidential Villa expenditure, showed that the State House made payments for the supply of an unspecified quantity of bulletproof tyres and Westlake tyres, the week that the President Bola Tinubu government marked its first year in office.

The report stated that documents showed that the sums of N200,583,390, N38,070,000, and N6,000,960, were respectively paid for these items, on May 21, 2024.

The documents revealed that two separate payments were made for the purchase and supply of tyres (no specified quantity) for bulletproof vehicles and another five armoured bulletproof tyres to Obi-Wealth Enterprises Nigeria Limited (RC-640684) for the sums of N200,583,390 and N38,070,000.

However, the company is inactive when searched on the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) website.

The other parts of the supply of an unspecified number of Westlake tyres (315/80R22) for N6,000,960 was handled by Hommy & Fay Investments Limited, which is active on the CAC portal.

Attempts to get reactions from the presidency over the tyre expenditure, according to the report, did not yield results as several calls made to the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, did not go through.

The message sent to him had not been replied as of the time of filing this report.
