IFEANYI OKOMA: THE FRAUDULENT ANAMBRA STATE COMMISSIONER FOR WORKS - INSIDE SOLUDO’S CURRENT CABINET.

An unprecedented fraud masterminded by Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma is currently going on in the Anambra State Ministry of Works. It is yet to be established whether he is executing the script of his principal, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, or whether he is acting alone, or for other persons.

Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma who has been working for Prof. Soludo since his days at the CBN as a Contractor and as a Consultant, is also a close associate of Soludo's in-law, Engr. Emeka Ezenwanne - who is currently in charge of the governor's kitchen cabinet.

Recall that Soludo campaigned vigorously with the urban renewal of Okpoko - a suburb of the Onitsha metropolis - which resulted in the 9 Roads that were awarded for reconstruction at Okpoko, being the very first contract of the present administration.
Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma designed the road by himself - using RB Consults as proxy.

Sadly, after several months of awarding the contract, it cannot take off because the design is a mess and cannot serve the purpose for which the project was awarded. He is running helter skelter to find a way around it so that Ndi Anambra does not run out of patience and start seeing the government bad light.

It was found out that he (or the proxy Consultant) never visited the roads in order to have on-the-spot assessment of the roads before designing.

This is also the case with all the roads that were awarded so far, as he uses Google Earth in the comfort of his office to churn out shoddy designs, then rip off the government millions of naira using proxy consulting firms.

These “faulty and shoddy designs” is the main reason why none of the projects that were flagged off so far has commenced in earnest, despite the 50% mobilization fees paid to contractors.

NIGERCAT equipments, for instance, are lying idle at a location at Abakaliki Street close to BON Hotel despite the fact that their project “UNIZIK Junction - Isuanaocha and Okpuno Roads” was flagged off nearly a month ago.
Same is the case with NBHH Construction Limited at Okpoko, after over two months of project flag off.
The same is also the case with GELD Construction Limited at the “Amansea – Awba Ofemmili” Project.
The Storm water control works at Old Enugu-Onitsha Road Ogbunike is currently in a messy situation, as the faulty design being executed is not fit for purpose.
The Mmiri John section of the Umuoji – Ojoto road remains unexecutable despite the expiration of the contract duration.

Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma has fraudulently packaged a pre-contract Consultancy design fee of over N900m (Nine hundred million naira) for less than half of the Roads awarded which Prof. Soludo has surprisingly approved.

More Consultancy fees will still be paid on same projects as Post Contract Consultancy fees.
The entire money goes to Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma and whoever he is acting his script, as he is the one who does the substandard designs himself using RB Consults and others as proxies.

The dry season has arrived, and none of the projects awarded has taken off in earnest.

Ndi Anambra deserve to know why.!!

“Amansea - Ebenebe - Awba Ofemili Road” which was initially proposed to last at least 30years has been reduced to 10years in an internal arrangement with the contractor, because of faulty designs, yet Ndi Anambra are made to believe that the road has a guaranteed life span of 30 years.
It is the case for all the projects awarded so far, as all the designs produced by the Commissioner using proxy Consultancy firms are all faulty, shoddy, and substandard.

There are also allegations that the commissioner strikes deals with the new contractors brought into the system, with an understanding that they part with a share from their payments.
Only such companies are selected to bid for major contracts, hence the reason you have TEC, NBHH, AG VISION, DATUM, NIGERCAT, GELD and TRICONSTRUCTION being the only companies awarded new huge jobs.
Any other company that were given jobs are only doing revalidated projects from previous administration, or rehabilitation of an existing infrastructure.

Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma owns JIL Engineering based at Enugu, which is currently the Contractor that is handling the Access Road to Green Valley Estate Awka for the Anambra State Housing Corporation whose MD/CEO is Prof. Soludo’s childhood friend Hon. Chike Anyaonu.

Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma is also the Consultant that is currently handling the construction of the International Convention Center (ICC) Awka, for which many structural failures have been exposed.

Thus, Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma is a Contractor, a Consultant, and the Commissioner for Works, all in the same Anambra State - which is inappropriate - as it amounts to conflict of interest.

All the projects awarded so far has no records in the Ministry of Works Archives, as the Commissioner does not want the Ministry of Works staff to know the secret deals which he is striking.

Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma uses the labourers in his firm at Enugu to usurp the responsibilities of the Ministry of Works engineers, and to write off huge amounts of money as their payments.

These unqualified labourers handled the rehabilitation of the Amansea section of the Enugu-Onitsha Old Road, which unsurprisingly failed a week after commissioning, after the government had spent millions of naira on the project.

The EFCC are currently investigating the contracts that were executed under the immediate past administration.
From what is currently going on at the Anambra State Ministry of Works, the EFCC will quickly jail the dubious Commissioner, Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma, if they investigate the Contracts that had been awarded so far since Soludo assumed office.

If Mr. Governor, Prof. Charles Soludo, is not an accomplice in this monumental fraud, then he is advised to ask Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma to immediately step aside while an independent investigation is conducted.

It is sad that in less than one year of Prof. Soludo’s administration, a lot of fraudulent activities are already going on in the Ministry of Works, and indeed, in most of the other government establishments - including the Bureau of Public Procurement, where contractors who are handling big projects are expected to part with at least N1m (One Million naira) in cash, in order to have their contract documents processed.

Write a petition to ICPC

Nobody Will be refute anything if you believe this lie take iy to court. You are the one alleging so go n prosecute him but Soludo will not be shutting up over the lies by Obi. This is how fools accuse Obiano of fraud till he left governance so why have you not jailed him.

The same fool still tell us Peter Obi caught red handed looting over N250 million using his governor convoy for good 8 years did not steal anything which is aside the several hundred millions of dollars he looted into his daugther Gabrielle pandora account in his second term as governor.

Mumu write up, if you don't like Soludo go get a job and stop writing trash. Soludo is trying with the little resources at his disposal because the previous govt under Obiano looted the treasury dry.
God bless Gov Dave Umahi, he is the best governor from the south east

Solution bụ ezigbote onye ori. Onye ori na asụ oyibo with a baritone voice. Go and check his records at CBN to know who the man is.
