Nigerian Senate Ad-hoc Committee on Mounting Humanitarian Crisis in the
North-East,on Tuesday , laid its final report, which indicted suspended
Secretary to Government of the Federation, SGF, David Babachir Lawal.

The 45-page report, which will be discussed by senators Wednesday, was
submitted by the committee chairman, Senator Shehu Sani (APC, Kaduna
Central).

The committee specifically recommended that the banks’ transactions of
Rholavision Engineering Limited and the confirmation of Central Bank of
Nigeria indicated that Babachir Lawal was still the signatory to
Rholavision Engineering Limited accounts and 13 other accounts, some with
different names.

It noted that Lawal contravened the provision of Part 1 of the Fifth
Schedule of the 1999 Constitution (as amended); Public Procurement Act 2007
and breached the Oaths of Office as Secretary to the Government of the
Federation and should be prosecuted by the relevant authorities.

In the report, the committee also linked fresh suspicious payment to the
tune of N500 million and recommended further investigation by relevant
agencies of government on why contract benefitting companies paid over N500
million into Rholavision Engineering Limited, a company Lawal had interest
in.

The recommendations read in part: “That since it was observed that there
was no bill of quantities on the contracts awarded by PINE under emergency
situation, the Bureau of Public Procurement, BPP, should undertake a
revaluation of all such contracts to recover any proceeds from
over-inflated contracts;

“That the relevant agencies should ensure that contracts partially
executed but fully paid for must be completed by the concerned contractors,
or asked to refund the equivalent money of outstanding jobs to government
treasury;

“That all resources that have been misapplied or stolen by public
officials should be retrieved and anybody found culpable of contravening
any of the provisions of the Public Procurement Act, 2007 and the Federal
Government Financial Rules and Regulations pertaining to the award of these
contracts, should be duly prosecuted by the relevant authorities;

“That the committee also recommends further investigation by relevant
agencies of government on why contract benefitting companies paid over N500
million into Rholavision Engineering Limited, a company Engr. Babachir
David Lawal has interest.”

The 45-page report was signed by seven of the nine members, including the
chairman, Senator Shehu Sani; Senator Ben Murray Bruce (PDP, Bayelsa East);
Senator Oluremi Tinubu (APC, Lagos Central); Senator Ali Wakil (APC, Bauchi
South); Senator Theodore Orji (PDP, Abia); Senator Tayo Alasoadura (APC,
Ondo Central) and Senator Yahaya Abdullahi (APC, Kebbi), as well as the
Clerk, Lawal Barau Bungudu.

Of the nine members, only Senators Mohammed Hassan (PDP, Yobe South) and
Adeola Olamilekan (APC, Lagos West) did not sign the report.....

Nice move

these older men are the reason why Nigeria is stagnant till today. they don't care the effect of those actions. all they want is embezzlement. I wish to see a Nigeria where younger politicians will be elected by the public instead of these old thieves.

so much corruption going on right under the nose of Mr integrity turned vegetable,,good tin is that he was suspended to save face for this administration of wacko Jacko

Another 500m grasscut?

Yet Banachir will say - Who is the panel?
Who is the presidency?

Law has departed the shores of Nigeria; anything goes these days.

We sent one clueless person away only to bring a clan of commotion.

If you ever shouted Sai Baba, hope you are able to hold your shame now.

Presidential grass cutter.

The SGF should resign

Corruption breathing in Baba bubu nose, right before baba chest standing the ultimate corrupted nigga..

Atiku2019:
The SGF should resign

Babachir is gone already but that is not enough. We should be advocating for his prosecution now so as to send a strong signal to others in the government that nobody is above the law.

45 page report? Na photo album. Mr Bruce, I sight you jare. It's the right move I think.

Age has got nothing to do with the leadership crisis bedevilling this country; a testament to that is the body NANS, and another is Kogi state.

We have a fundamental problem of character and conscience and until we start making personal efforts to fix that, might well keep flogging a dead horse.

More trouble my ass! Nothing will happen to this babachir grand pa! Quote me anywhere!

As Babachir has turned out to be a confirmed grasscutter, na to roast am chop remain!

PaulKillerman:

Good point bro; but I still think, if we are able to itemize these "fundamental problem of characters and conscience " we are not going anywhere,that the way forward . where do we start?. we need to start at a point, we analyse situations a lot in Nigeria. we talk and complain for ages but never willing to begin with something. that's what I think .

Corrupt Govt officials are now getting exposed under this administration, its no longer business as usual.

If it was under GEJ's administration, he would have given them national awards that he gave Aki and pawpaw.....and invite Ras-Kimono so that he can dance on stage with him.

What about the $50m? We cannot be distracted by shifting all attention to SGF. We want to know about the main issue, which is the $50m allegedly discovered by Magu and his boys.

Also, who will receive the report from the VeePee? I hope it's not some appointee of the President?

Who is the presidency?

Boleyndynasty2:
how are you so sure about that?

I have had dealings with youth groups, I know what I saw...
