God punish who? Our politicians exploring avenues to siphon our monies you are here blaming others who had their turn to loot and left many years ago. Give yourself brain. Over half of this amount ends up in the accounts of these men in power. Nigeria is gone. I wait for the day my turn comes. Don't bother to respond.

This is one of the numerous calamities created by the miserable and senseless Poverty Development Party. Not a single thing they can point to as an achievement in 16 years aside looting and embezzlement.

God punish the Poverty Development Party!!!

I read and understood the post very well and I have been following the story of the project for a very long time.
It was the Obasanjo government that re awarded the project to that incompetent company in 2003 and refused to fund it.

His two house boys also refused to do something about it until Buhari came.

If the PDP didn't mess up the project in the first place, Fashola wouldn't have to negotiate any settlement.

This was how they sold our discos to people who knew nothing about power, many years later, we are still paying for darkness!!!
So the project since 1970 kept on and PDP came to spoil it but no breach or counter-suits until the APC came and we now have to pay $200M and you blame PDP but absolve APC?
Some of you guys are the replicas of same unintelligent only money-minded guys we have in power today

These kind of international blackmail and extortion against Nigeria by rogue western nations must not be allowed to hold. What sort of bad, wicked and unpatriotic leaders can cohort with rogue nations and companies to defraud his own nation? This is beyond me abeg. Totally insane. Mugu Northerners una see unaselves.

The project never took off at any point in time other than signing dubious contracts. Obasanjo awarded the contract again to the claimant in 2003 but refused to fund it. It had been stalled since then. Buhari has re-awarded it to the Chinese who unfortunately cannot start the project until all legal issues relating to the previous contractor are settled. That’s why government decided to pay compensation to the initial contractor so that the contract can be terminated without any further legal claim and for the Chinese to start work on the project.

It's just sad that some ignorant persons will still read only the headline of the story, attack the FG with silly comments — even worse are the ones who would read and still say crap.

TBH, the past administration really did a lot of disservice to this country with shoddy contracts, especially in the power sector.

Mambilla power plant does not exist, even the land to build the power plant is yet to be allocated.

Use sense.

Anywhere there is insider abuse/fraud in this administration, you must find this Malami dude there, pulling the strings and robbing Nigeria blind. Dude has made a ton of money as a fifth-columnist instigating all manner of shady breach-of-contract litigations and settlements under the watch of our ten-minute zombie president.

$200m for what? This is a very curious deal considering the fact that they demanded a leaser sum of $80m as compensation during the Fashola era which was even considered as high. It is really curious to see the new minister quickly signing away $200m as compensation. I hope we won’t be having another Malabu gate kind of scandal on our hands in some years to come.



I thought no one else noticed that sh*t. I dey fear that malami guy.... that 200$ mil is to be shared by the two ministers,the female from the presidency and the complainants(Sunrise Corps).

Ain't no doubt about it.... its another fucking malabu! Just like the numerous malabu's that have been and still keep going unnoticed!

For whatever share i have in naija as a Nigerian, i will never forgive even 1 kobo.. they must vomit it on judgment day.

See the way people are chopping money like its rice shocked.

This is the stupidiest Minister of Power ever, the fool just made PDP $200 million richer, this pvssy minister also wants to pay off Distribution company billions in dollar as settlement, this same DISCOS that neither provide meters or transformer but simply extort us customers due to foolish contract drunk Jonathan signed

This is why Davido's father buys new Private Jets like its a toy, because before building his powerplant, he signed a juicy deal with PDP that even when he isn't generating power he is getting paid and getting government subvention

This is another strategy these politicians use to enrich themselves. They breach contract voluntarily so that by the time an out of court settlement is found they enrich themselves legally off the sweat of the people.

Quite clever I must say.

“The logical conclusion in the circumstances should be that there was no valid contract between Federal Government of Nigeria and SPTC in respect of the project or at all,” Malami wrote.

Fashola refused to pay 90m in view of the above argument. How come mallami is still the one here supporting payment of 200m - at some point, he supported that the said company should be re-enlisted among the new ones assigned to the project and later backtracked.


Mallami has gotten his share of this deal. There's one repatriation to Nigeria he almost blocked before the president overruled him. Too bad...

Guy, see how you gave reasons for PMB and called OBJ's dubious.
I'd like to give you this point; OBJ got loan pardons for debt by past gifts and built foreign reserve and a strong economy. Today, the Mr. Saint isn't being dubious but removed Fashola (a SAN) who insists there was no breach and installed someone whom agrees to pay a whooping $200m in less than a year of resuming office. And this didn't sound dubious to you?
All the loans with nothing to show for it?
Tell yourself the truth bro, are you not feeling the effect of the tax raise? I personally pay over N100k tax monthly now and this is just to repay debts that some idiots looted I the form of loan.
Upon all the monies realised by custom on almost doubling importation tax, JAMB revenues, better tax collection systems, etc.
Imagine after TSA, NNPC still has unaccounted monies as in the past administration.
Honestly, this govt is a huge disgrace

Shut up there was nothing shoddy about that contract !!!!! Its the Nigerian govt starting from Buhari in the 80s that refused to service the contract and now instead of working with the original contractor he will rather pay a breach fee of 200 million dollars so he can work with the Chinese

Make sure you understand the crux of the matter before commenting. Did Sunrise raise funds for the Project over the years? Why would Buhari not work with the Chinese when they would provide the funds? Be reasonable!
