Why vice president Osinbajo is living in a rented house

The official residence of the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has been under construction for the past 8 years.

So far, the project has gulped a whopping N6.215billion naira, yet the house remains uncompleted.

The project was abandoned five years ago owing to disagreement between the Senate and the FCT administration.

The contract was awarded in 2009 at a cost of N7billion but N6.215 billion was paid to the contractors.

In 2012, the then Minister of FCT, Senator Bala Mohammed, submitted a request for an additional N9billion.

The 7th Senate rejected it following an intelligence report that “the request for the additional cost was suspicious.”

The complex is made up of the followings: VP’s ADC’s house (N258m); Chief Security Officer’s house (N228m).

Mosque (N95m); Church (N84m); security quarters, (N114 m); boys quarters ( N288m); Gate House (N55m); infrastructure (N1.7 billion).

While the government was trying to find a solution to the contract stalemate, a fresh row is trailing the new residence.

The Chairman of the House Committee on FCT, Hon. Herman Hembe said his committee was disappointed at the way the contract was being managed.

Hembe said: “In all, about 87% of the contract sum has been paid.

“You can go and take a look and say by yourself if the work done is commensurate with the funds so far paid.

“The committee has severally expressed disappointment over this very sad situation.”

N6billion spent on new Vice President’s residence a waste of resources — VP Osinbajo

There is no need for a new residence for the Vice President as the current one, called Aguda House, is up to standard with enough space and well managed, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said.

The Vice President said this on Friday while responding to questions at the Pastors and Leaders Retreat of the Fountain of Life Church, Ilupeju, Lagos.

Mr. Osinbajo said the N6 billion already spent on the project was a misapplication of fund but added that with the level of construction already done, it would not be abandoned.

He said the present administration would complete it but consider putting it to other use.

“There is no need for a new Vice President’s house; it is a kind of waste; we are now in a situation where we cannot abandon it; it has to be completed and used for a different thing,’’ he said.
