Fashola Spent N139m On Two Boreholes- LASG by Emperorone(m): 1:53pm On Aug 24, 2015 |
The immediate past Governor of Lagos State, Mr.
Babatunde Fashola, spent N139m on the drilling
of two boreholes at the Lagos House, Ikeja.
The project was completed by Deux Projects
Limited according to a report published by the
state government
The report, which was part of the awarded
contracts by the Lagos State Tenders Board in
2013, was seen on the website of the Lagos
State Public Procurement Agency.
In the same year, N640m was spent by the
Fashola administration for the reconstruction of
a car park and other associated works at the
Lagos House, Marina. The report stated that the
N640m contract was given to Julius Berger Plc
as part of phase two of the reconstruction of
Lagos House where Fashola lived during his
eight years in government.
In the same year, N300m was spent on the
relocation of cables belonging to the Power
Holding Company of Nigeria at the Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital. The contract was
awarded to Deux Projects Limited.
According to the report, the former governor also
spent N175m to replace the railings of a
pedestrian bridge on Carter Bridge from Ido to
Idumota with concrete railings. The contract was
awarded to A Abicon Engineering Limited.
According to the report, N220m was spent on
the facility management of the Lagos State
University College of Medicine. The contract was
awarded to Deux Projects Limited.
The former governor, according to the report,
spent N619m on surface repair on Ajara-Erekiti-
Iragon-Ikoga Road in Badagry Local Government.
According to the report, Fashola spent N1.2bn on
the construction of an unidentified multi-storey
building in Onikan, Lagos.
The former governor was also said to have spent
N1.6bn on the construction of a 48-bedroom
hotel at Lagos State VIP Chalets, Badagry.
About N510m was spent on the remodelling and
equipping of the official residence of the state’s
Chief Judge at 4 Thompson Avenue, Ikoyi, Lagos,
according to the report.
About N165m was spent on the construction of
an 18-classroom block at Ajara Senior Grammar
School, Ajara Badagry. The same amount was
also spent on an 18-block classroom at
Community Senior/Junior Secondary School,
Bayeku, Ikorodu.
Fashola had recently come under fire for
spending N78.3m of taxpayers’ money on his
website, tundefashola.com .
Although the figures were published on the
official website of the state government, the
former governor said all the monies were duly
approved by the Lagos State House of Assembly
and the Lagos State Public Procurement Agency.
Fashola, in a six-page letter, stated that the
website of the state government was authentic.
He, however, warned against attempt by some
persons to tarnish his good image and
misrepresent his budgetary spending to the
members of the public.
All attempts to speak with Fashola’s
spokesperson, Hakeem Bello, proved abortive as
he did not pick calls neither did he respond to a
text message sent to his telephone. Source: http://www.punchng.com/news/fashola-spent-n139m-on-two-boreholes-lasg/ |
