The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, awarded Value-Added Service contracts to himself, the All Progressives Congress National Leader and former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu and late Isa Funtua, a long-time political associate of President Muhammadu Buhari, SaharaReporters has learnt.

Investigations by SaharaReporters showed further that Dare awarded the contracts, when he was the Executive Commissioner (Stakeholder Management) of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

Dare, a former spokesman of Tinubu, was appointed by Buhari as the South-West executive commissioner of the NCC in 2016.

He was however replaced with Adeleke Moronfolu Adewolu in 2019 after the President named him a Minister.

Others awarded the multi-billion naira projects by Dare included Umar Danbatta, Executive Vice-Chairman (EVC) of the NCC, Naomi Adenuga, Senator Ifeanyi Ararume, and others.

A top source said, “The current Minister of Sports, Sunday Dare singled handedly gave some corrupt Nigerians the NCC licenses when he was the Executive Commissioner.

“He gave himself a slot, Naomi Adenuga for Glo, Bola Tinubu a slot, Umar Danbatta, Executive Vice-Chairman (EVC) of the NCC a slot, Senator Ararume, late Isa Funtua, Abdurrahaman Ado Musa and his brother, Abdul Sallam Abubakar.

“They were all awarded the Value Added Service for the NCC. The use of USSD code; they generate at least N25billion naira per month. They are taking 90%, leaving the brain mind content provider with 10%.”

Normal thing in Nigerian politics

That failure called Sport Minister.

Its our way of life down here, nothing new.

The way this country be now e be like say backwardness na
our portion, make dem sell the country 50-50 give me my
portion; el Corizo

Government of Terrorists and Thieves

The vegetable is yet to show us the oil he spent billions searching in the north

He yet to show us the refinery he spent billions revamping

He is yet to show us the result of the billions spent on military that has become bandit playground

No wonder our athletes were given just one jersey at the Olympics.

Because Sports Minister has used money that would have been used to work for the ministry to settle godfathers.

Now, I’m here wondering why that Ministry keeps getting buffoons as Minister?

Is it that the ministry is cursed or cursed people keep getting appointed into the ministry?

Buhari and co are mortgaging d youths

Crooked criminals mortgaging Nigeria to themselves.

Biko Sahara reporters should he award the contract to the people in PDP or APGA.
On a serious note,I think it's time Government do the right thing and open the space for young people to get involved in accquiring wealth in Nigeria.
The contract should have been opened up to Nigerians to apply and if Isa Funtua,Jagaban and all the other companies listed in the article were qualified,it should be awarded to them.
Let us stop this archaic unorthodox mentality of always shutting the doors to eminently qualified Nigerians to bid for Government contracts especially young people.
It's very sad and disheartening that there's no conscious effort to have a generational transfer of wealth in Nigeria.
The ancient and archaic ancestors are still accumulating wealth even when they are on their way out of the world.
Nigeria NA WA
God bless Nigeria

Most corrupt govt ever

Padi Padi arrangement

See money

They said he awarded the contracts while he was in NCC and you’re here talking about Ministry of sport. Why can’t you just read before rushing to post rubbish?

Anyway, the report can’t be absolutely true because national commissioners in federal agencies don’t have the power to award contract. Only the Executive vice Chairman and NCC Tenders board can award contracts based on approval threshold.

Rubbish.

Gang of serial looters

Dis APC era worst pass any regime for naija. If God keep us alive, 2023 is not far, we need to vote wisely and make sure our vote count. We need kick APC out of government come 2023.

This Sunday dare has been the most incompetent minister of sports since 1999.

Even dalung was far better.

The only thing he knows is to blow grammar and wear suits like his vice president.

And now he is awarding contracts to himself and Friends.

Tell them o. I am even aghast they could believe that a Commissioner is in charge of contract award when the EVC is the de facto CEO and reports to the supervising Minister,
The President and NA committees on Telcos .
