State House Spends N244 Million on Tyres in One Day Amidst Hardship During Tinubu Administration

The Nigerian government reportedly allocated N244,654,350 for bulletproof tire procurement by President Bola Tinubu’s administration through the State House in Abuja, based on govspend data.

The payments were processed within a single day, shortly before the President’s one-year anniversary. Records show two payments were issued for acquiring and delivering bulletproof vehicle tires, along with an additional purchase of five armored bulletproof tires for Obi-Wealth Enterprises Nigeria Limited (RC-640684), listed as inactive on the CAC portal.

Additionally, Hyundai & Fay Investments Limited managed the supply of an unspecified quantity of Westlake tires (315/80R22) for N6,000,960.

Despite attempts to obtain comments from the presidency regarding the tire expenses, reaching out to the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, proved unsuccessful as calls were unanswered.
