EXCLUSIVE: How Buhari’s Minister Awarded Multi-billion Naira Contracts To Self, Ex-Governor Tinubu, Others As Nigerian Communications Commission Executive
SaharaReporters learnt that others who benefited from the dubious contracts include the late Isa Funtua, a long-time political associate of President Muhammadu Buhari.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK.
The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, awarded Value-Added Service contracts to himself, the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader and former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, among others.

SaharaReporters learnt that others who benefited from the dubious contracts include the late Isa Funtua, a long-time political associate of President Muhammadu Buhari.
An investigation 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 for 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 as the President named him Minister of Sports and Youth Development.

Value-Added Service (VAS) is a term used in telecommunications to describe non-core features, which traditionally are non-voice functions such as video, data and so on.

Others awarded the multi-billion naira contracts by Dare included Umar Danbatta, Executive Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the NCC; Naomi Adenuga; Senator Ifeanyi Ararume.
A top source said, “The current Minister of Sports, Sunday Dare single-handedly gave some corrupt Nigerians the NCC licenses when he was the Executive Commissioner.
“He gave himself a slot and also gave Naomi Adenuga for Globacom. He gave Bola Tinubu a slot and also Umar Danbatta, Executive Vice-Chairman of the NCC a slot. He also gave Senator Ifeanyi Ararume.”

Ararume was on Sunday appointed Chairman of the Board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) after Buhari, in his capacity as Minister of Petroleum Resources, directed the incorporation of the company.
According to the top source, others are “Isa Funtua (who died in July 2020), Abdurahman Ado Musa and his brother, Abdulsalami Abubakar.

“They were all awarded the Value-Added Service contracts for the NCC. This includes the use of USSD code; they generate at least N25 billion per month from that. The use of USSD code brings a lot of money,” the source added.
Abdulrahman Ado is a director with telecom operator, 9mobile.
Funtua was a Federal Minister in the Second Nigerian Republic. After leaving the government job, he went into business and was a personal friend and close associate of Buhari. Until his death, he was known to be very influential in Buhari’s administration.

USSD means Unstructured Supplementary Service Data which allows people without smartphones or data or internet connection to use mobile banking through the use of codes, but at a charge.
“Through the Value Added Service, they generate at least N25 billion naira per month. The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami is also badly involved. They are very close to Malami and (Isa) Pantami as well.”

Pantami is the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy. Before then, he was the Director-General and CEO of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) between September 2016 and August 2019.
Also called Sheikh Pantami, the minister’s past call to Jihad and unalloyed support for murderous groups like the Taliban and Al-Qaeda portray him as a dyed-in-the-wool Islamic fundamentalist.

Sharing the details of how the contracts were dubiously awarded, another source said, “The telecommunications companies were taking 90%, leaving the content provider with 10%. Sunday Dare then promised to give contracts to five companies and about 400 companies put in their bids with a deposit of N500,000 each. Upon qualifying, you will remit another N9.5 million to them.
“The goal was to water down the profit of the Telcos. Sunday Dare singlehandedly gave Ado, himself and seven others the contract. No governor is richer than any executive in NCC.”

Congrats to all of them.......both the awarder,awardee and the awarded

This is kind of news you will find on Shithara repooters

Tinubu and my president just dey rule us as Dem like.. it is well ...

By 2023 after Buhari must have handed over......the magnitude of kwarruprion revelations that will come out will be highly inflammable.

Buhari is fighting kwarruption in his dreams ..

How many times will you guys open a thread about this senseless allegation?

Can you imagine and upon all the money that this man is getting left and right he is still looking for president. Greedy people

Criminals surround this government like flies

For being an APC member, this allegation won't fly.

Our known EFCC won't entertain such a file.

Sahara reporters are full of nonsense. They need education on how contracts are awarded in the ministries. Ministers have little to no power awarding contracts. Munisters are mere supervisors while permanent secretaries handle money and contracts of about 50 million or less. Anything above that figure goes through federal executive council and of course the president.

Matter that they will sweep under the carpet!

They are all birds of a feather!

lol
funny you

Ministers make money through duty tour allowances and estacodes. I know duty tour allowance per day for a minister is like 2 million Naira per day while estacodes for oversea trips is like $5,000 per day. You can't hold down a minister from traveling. They make their money through that engagements. They are also allowed to travel with limited staff while on local or overseas trip. A corrupt minister can work with a permanent secretary to loot. Ministers are in charge of who gets contracts but not in position to pay. Permanent secretaries do that.

Reading is problem with some of you. Did you see where I said certain amount of money must go through federal executive council/president? I repeat, it's hard for ministers to steal and not get caught. I came from a family who knows how ministries and government agencies are run.

lol
did Allison Madueke loot, or not?
bcoz going by your submission, it's impossible for her to do so.
how about all the other ministers "fingered" in the PDP?
I'm sure you've made this claim in the past, right?

So you truly believe this junk?


A commissioner (not even the chairman) in the Nigerian Communication Commission can NOT single handedly award contracts let alone contracts worth Billions of Naira.

The truth is that the Igbos can NOT break away from these people.

This is like mere rumour,

1) There's no crime committed in the report

2) There's no petition to the EFCC about this matter.

3) A mere commisioner in the NCC don't have any executive power to award any contract.

4) Only the Board of NCC can award contracts for a limited amount of money like say 500Million.
Contracts worth huge amount of money can only be approved by the Federal Executive Council shared by the President.
