Okpala said further, “As my boss alighted to board the aircraft, the same people again tried to reach him, possibly to execute their motive, but the airport security now joined his security details to subdue them before Tukur was quickly rushed to the departure hall.”

The House of Representatives adhoc committee investigating the alleged N1.69trillion Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) contract scam is set to summon the immediate past transport minister, Alhaji Umar Idris, and two former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairmen, Alhaji Abubakar Baraje, and Bamanga Tukur, to explain their roles in the contract.

Also, the current management of the ministry of transport, Subsidy Re-Investment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P), and the contractors are to appear before the adhoc committee at a public hearing at a yet-to-be announced date.

“The $841million loan secured from China Exim bank and SURE-P were not properly documented as there was no board for almost two years and the ministry single handedly spearheaded the award of all the major contracts.

“The adhoc committee will ask all the stakeholders how come a contract that was so heavily funded could not be completed in 2013 the contract due date,” a House member preferring anonymity and privy to the investigations and planned summon disclosed yesterday.

Last Wednesday, the House resolved to investigate rail project rehabilitation from 2010 to 2014.

The resolution by the House followed a motion titled: “Need to Investigate the Federal Ministry of Transport and the Nigeria Railway Corporation on the Award of Contracts for Rehabilitation of Railway Tracks, Maintenance of Bridges and Procurement / Rehabilitation of Coaches and Locomotives From 2010 – 2014,” sponsored by Hon. Solomon Ahwinahwi.

“The level of performance with respect to the 463km Port-Harcourt – Markurdi rail track rehabilitation of the eastern line with the total sum of N19, 963, 752, 330 and out of which the NRC has paid N4, 017, 054, 841, 00, while SURE-P paid N5, 594, 021, 377 and only about 3km of ballast has been done with 400km left undone and the total money released so far is N9, 611, 076, 218.

“The Abuja – Kaduna rail project had 841 million US dollars as the project cost, out of which the China EXIM Bank provided a loan of 500 million US dollars with about 25 per cent of the project completed when the entire project was envisaged to be have been completed in 2014,” Ahwinahwi (Delta/PDP) reported in lead debates.

The lawmaker also said that the Lagos to Jebba track rehabilitation project was awarded at a contract sum of N12, 293. 390. 000 with the payments made so far at N11, 699. 999, 218 without any tangible work done adding that the same also goes for Jebba to Kano track rehabilitation which had a contract sum of N12, 169. 237. 337 with payments made to the tune of N10, 337. 023. 111.

He said that the investigation is important because with the huge funds sunk to upgrade the railway transport system there has been little to show for it as the locomotives and coaches running on the country’s tracks are still a relic of modern railway transport.

Story sounds like yoruba movie

Okpala said further, “As my boss alighted to board the aircraft, the same people again tried to reach him, possibly to execute their motive, but the airport security now joined his security details to subdue them before Tukur was quickly rushed to the departure hall.”

Okpala said they have notified the police of the development, but added that no arrest has been made.

darznets:


This is what you see when people make comments without reasoning... I want to ask-
1. If the security details attached to Tukur can overpower the so called assailants, why were they not arrested?

2. If the van used was damaged as alleged ,how did the attackers able to still follow Tukur to the airport?

3. How come none of them was arrested when the airport security joined his own to overpower them at the airport?


Pls tell another lie.. this one no sell.

My ambition is not worth the Blood of any Nigerian but the money that should be used to procure arms for our soldiers was diverted to Jonathan election campaign and our soldiers were running for their lives when they ran out of bullets and boko haram had an open day maming, killing and kidnapping
