The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has denied buying the 70th Anniversary Edition of Toyota Land Cruiser, worth N200 million for its Managing Director (MD), Mr Kabir Yusuf Muhammed.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports this is contained in a statement released on Saturday by Abdullahi Yakubu-Funtua, FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection.
Reports had emerged Mr Muhammed appropriated N200 Million for the purchase of a 70th Anniversary Edition Toyota Land Cruiser for himself as his official vehicle.
However, FAAN in the statement expressly denied the reports, saying since the assumption of office, the FAAN MD does not have any official car and did not buy any for anyone.
“When some old vehicles were refurbished for the newly appointed Directors, the MD was given one but he had to return it because the vehicles did not go round.
“A contract for the Procurement of operation vehicles was awarded by the former Managing Director. They are yet to be supplied.
“The vehicle he is using to work does not belong to FAAN. The vehicle’s registration number could be verified through the appropriate authorities,” FAAN stated.
