Alleged N42bn Railway Fraud: Former SGF, 2 Ex-pdp Chairmen Manipulated Contracts by chudionu58(f): 5:56am On Nov 09, 2015 |
Memoranda from various stakeholders have started pouring in before the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee set up to investigate contract awards for the Rehabilitation of Railway tracks and the procurement of Coaches and Locomotives between 2010-2014. “Nigerians would be shocked at the level of massive frauds committed by highly placed government functionaries when the findings of this committee are made public,” a source close to the committee told Vanguard, yesterday. According to the source, already, many good spirited members of the public have submitted detailed momeranda on how a few government functionaries literally stole several billions of Naira under the guise of rehabilitating the nation’s Railway network. Sources said that a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF and two former National Chairmen of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who held very key positions on the Board of the NRC were said to have been fingered as having taken decisions that were less than in public interest in the rehabilitation project. It was learnt that while it would be difficult for top management of the corporation and the Federal Ministry of Transport to claim ignorance in what went wrong some of them who were not involved have come forward to volunteer information on how much of the infractions were carried out. It was learnt that there were cases were coaches and locomotives procured were way far from specifications for which public funds were paid and that in some cases, payments which had already been made through the regular budgetary provisions were repeated through the SURE-P window. As learnt the worse method through which those involved fleeced the nation was complete refusal to do jobs after collecting money for them. Consequently, out of a total contract sum of N79.337 billion for various segments of the rehabilitation, N42. 086 billion had allegedly been paid to the contractors but with very little work done. The Abuja-Kaduna $ 841 million Rail Line being funded partly through the a $500 million loan from the China Exim Bank, has also suffered several completion date setbacks. It was alleged that of the total contract sum of N19,963,752,330.20 for the 463 km Port Harcourt – Makurdi Rail Track Rehabilitation N9,611,076,218.01has been paid. It was claimed that no appreciable work has been done on the sector. The Lagos to Jebba track rehabilitation project was awarded at a total contract sum of N12,293,390,000.00 out of which N 1l ,699,999,218.00, has been allegedly been paid. Jebba to Kano track rehabilitation project had a total contract sum of N12,169,237,337 with payments so far made put at N 10,337,023, 111.69 without any appreciable work done. Zaria to Kaura track rehabilitation project with a total contract sum of N3 ,206,241 ,650 and payment ofN1, 147,471,038.00 paid. Procurement rehabilitation of wagons, coaches and locomotives (narrow gauge) were projected at a total sum ofN6,502,914,067.00 with N4,071,008,628.64 so far paid, all to no avail. The track rehabilitation consultancy fee was N 1,482,100.000.00 with payment made so far put at N718,205,192.00. Kuru to Maiduguri track rehabilitation project was awarded at N23, 720,359 ,034.00 with payment made so far being N6,499,618,120.55. The legislators are concerned that with the Billions of funds sunk to upgrade the Railways Transport System, there was too little to show for it as the Locomotives and Coaches running on the nation’s tracks are still a relic of Modern Railway Transport. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/alleged-n42bn-railway-fraud-former-sgf-2-ex-pdp-chairmen-fingered/ cc: Lalasticalala, Obinoscopy. 1 Like |

See the celebrated transformation Back then TANoids told us that Jonathan performed wonders on the railways. They went as far as telling us that the tracks had been turned to standard guage, even when we all knew that all they did was to cut grass along the tracks, pour stones on some sections and buy some antiquated engines/coaches. It was always a gimmick. It was all about "marketing"... lies to cover cluelessness and incompetence. We told them that there will be a day of reckoning. Breeze don dey blow small small. 1 Like |
