Customs Recovers Auctioned NIPP Equipment 02 Nov 2011 From Kunle Akogun in Abuja Barely seven days after the Senate directed it to recover the 22 containers of National Independent Power Project (NIPP) equipment allegedly auctioned illegally; the Nigerian Customs Service yesterday announced the recovery of 15. Customs Comptroller General, Alhaji Abdullahi Dikko, told the Senate Committee on Power during an interactive session that the remaining seven containers would be recovered by Friday. The committee had last Tuesday ordered the service to retrieve, within seven days all the 22 containers, estimated at over $5.3billion, belonging to the NIPP and the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) it was said to have auctioned. Chairman of the committee, Senator Philip Aduda (PDP, FCT), who gave the order during a meeting the committee had with officials of the NIPP, the Customs Service and PHCN, had warned that key actors in the secret auctioning of the power equipment may end up in jail if the agency failed within seven days to recover the items and return them to government for use. Aduda, while expressing happiness over the recovery of the containers, however, gave the service two weeks to clear all equipment belonging to the Nigeria Independent Power Project (NIPP) and directed that the equipment be moved to site as soon as possible. He said the status of all contractors involved in the power project should be published for the committee to be able to follow up, saying “we cannot pay lip service to power projects again in the country.” One of the committee members, Senator Patrick Akinyelure (LP, Ondo), had remarked that the country did not want any more excuse for constant power failure and stressed that contractors were under obligations to deliver. He said funding should not be a hindrance, adding that there should be provision for credit between the contractors and officials of NIPP as long as they would collect their money anytime government released money.

IMO,Recovering is NOT just enough,They should explain how and why it disappeared in the first instance. |

This is like sabotaging the effort of the Fg to provide power. The minimum should be an immediate dismissal and then prosecution. GEJ has to show that he isnt joking with the promise to provide power. |

This is not a big deal, power contractors have been complaining since but no one was listening, this is what happens when due process is followed and the right authority exercised, they would have gone all out to ensure that the containers were recovered just to save face, where we need to be vigilant is where they are paying back the people who bought those equipments in d 1st place, we must ensure that the exact amount the customs received for auctioning them is what is paid out now, some buyers may have paid 1m to customs and 1m to the customs official, now is where we should be vigilant and secrets will come out cos some people are either abt 2 vomit monies already spent or lose monies used in bribing to buy d equipments d min of finance and d CBN bis supposed to be ontop of this with NASS ensuring that they follow this through!!! |

The auction/allocation process is big business in the customs service.In fact it is so big that Dikko Indie has his trusted boys in charge of this allocation/auction business.It is this allocation/auction that he uses to bribe politicians in Abuja to retain his position.It works like this-when a flashy expensive vehicle /container is seized either through the overtime law or by the fact that duty was not paid on the consignment-these consignments are then allocated to top politicians in the Senate/house of representatives/ministers and so on in fact the allocation goes all the way to the top in Aso Rock. The scam is that seized vehicles/containers are shared in the customs service as per position and heirachy,as such all the best seizures are reserved for Dikko and his cohorts who then go ahead to allocate them to their political godfathers in Abuja. I learnt that while the official receipts for money paid into the coffers of the central bank might read One million Naira,the customs will equally collect their own personal unrecipted One million Naira-now imagine how many seizures are made all over the country every day and realise why this scam is a BIG business for the customs and when I say customs I do not mean the small fry but the fat cats like Dikko Inde. Is it not amusing that Dikkos certificate forgery scandal has died a natural death and no one is talking about it any more-that is the power of allocation/auction. The top levels of the customs needs to be sanitized,but are the politicians brave enough to cast the first stone.He who has not received an allocation/auction as a bribe should please stand up from amongst our politicans -I don't think many politicians will be able to stand up and deny ever receiving an allocation from Dikko! |
