Karimi emphasized that federal lawmakers require these vehicles for oversight duties and extensive travel within their constituencies.

He further justified the procurement of utility vehicles, highlighting the poor condition of Nigerian roads. He stated, “If you look at Nigerian roads all over the Federation, we have a serious problem because nothing much has been done in the last years. Most of our roads are terribly bad.”

Regarding the choice of foreign-made vehicle brands, the lawmaker indicated, “In the future, as the Nigerian manufacturing sector develops, we will patronize them.”
