Frequent Corruption Probes Are Distracting Me - Fashola by kirajustice: 8:28am On Jan 30, 2018
@POLITICSNGR

Nigeria's minister for Power, Works, and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has cried out that the frequent probes by the House of Representatives on issues affecting the Ministry are distracting him.

On Wednesday, Fashola vented his frustration to the assembly while facing an investigative hearing on the transmission company of Nigeria(TCN) organized by the House representatives committee on power.

“We closed here last week and we are resuming this week with this committee. Committees of the House also will be asking us of our budget performance and we just need to work in the office so that we can also perform. So, I think there’s a sense here that I respectfully ask you to sufficiently use this time so we can also work to serve the Nigerian people.

We have a letter dated December 20, 2017, and that letter was issued under the name of one Nnamdi D. Onuigwe Esqr, Committee Clerk. And, it’s from the House of Representatives, saying the House has constituted an ad hoc committee on the need to investigate the Fiscal Responsibility and Procurement Acts by the TCN. It was pursuant to House resolution 114/ADHOT/TCN2 of December 20."

Now, we were waiting to be invited by the ad hoc committee when we got this letter asking us to come today, signed by Ibrahim Sidi, Committee Clerk pursuant to House resolution 189 of December 5, 2017. Although, it’s headed as “Need To facilitate Swift action on management of TCN Electric Power Reforms, it goes in the body to ask us to come and explain to this investigative committee the interim management of TCN on the delay in the implementation of projects such as the Nigerian Electricity Gas Improvement project that will improve power sector in Nigeria.

So, I seek clarification in order to assist the committee in its work and if it’s possible, to harmonize all of what we want to do together, bearing in mind that this House substantially is handling some possibly over-lapping issues."

Keep complaining and making excuses...
If you had been diligent and transparent in carrying out your duties, there wouldn't be need for probes now... would there?

Thought the propaganda anti-corruption fight is one of the cardinal policy of the APC government? Fashola have had enough of their own dose of medicine undecided
So this over-hyped wonder man does not believe in accountability in governance after all the moral baggage that have been trailing him in this regime.
To think that he is even a SAN got one thinking.SMH!

They will never agree that they are failure, if you are not corrupt, will they say you are? Why are you not able to defend part of the budget in your ministry when asked? or you think they will skip that because you are FASHOLA?

Fashola, like his co-travellers in APC, are shameless liars. cheesy


He thinks operating in the federal level is same thing as operating as a state governor, where he uses N78 million to update website.

He is not only the cover provider, his main job is decision making! How does he do that when he spend all his time with one committee or the other reviewing his past decision? The professionals are to provide with with information he need to make decisions and then implement decisions he has made

I wish you had this kind of sense when you said a responsible government will fix the power problem of the country in 6 months.

Don't worry, the BMC on Nairaland will give you this kind of support......

fashola, there is nothing wrong if you subdelegate some responsibilities of yours to someone else.

the black man mentality want to do everything and take all the glory forgetting that if they become incapacitated this instant the same ministry you carry for head like your papa business will still function without you

This over-hyped performer. I remember his comments during GEJ's regime over Nigerian's power situation. Now he is the Minister of Power, and power generation has become a rocket science.
