Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, in bid to rid the state of corruption, has announced the creation of a fund to purchase the world's first transparent and anti-corruption car for His Excellency's convoy.
According to a press release signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Kogi Governor, Kingsley Fanwo, the government is doing this to promote its mantra of transparency and to offer all Kogites the opportunity to contribute to kicking corruption out of the state.
"This automobile will cost about eight million dollars ($8, 000, 000), including shipping and delivery.
We are hopeful that the car can be delivered in 4 months and to that end, we are soliciting for donations from the good people of Kogi State to make this happen. We hope to be the first African nation to own such a magnificent machine."“The statement further added that all contributions for the see-through car can be sent to the following bank accounts with account name '#KogiTransparentCar'
1. First Bank - 3052278420
2. Guaranty Trust Bank - 0150230037
The ‘Transparent Car‘ was launched last October in Asia by ZF company at the Auto Show IAA Frankfurt, Germany, and is equipped with different security systems.
The Kogi Government will be the first African government seeking to use a transparent car to promote accountability in governance. And have you noticed that today is April Fools Day?!
