How NPA Squandered N50bn Annually - Transportation Ministry by oshozondii: 8:00am On May 12, 2021
The Ministry of Transportation Tuesday gave fresh evidence for investigating activities of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).

The permanent secretary of the ministry, Magdalene Ajani, in a statement, said the NPA was wasteful and awarded contracts even in areas it had in-house capability to handle, especially the channel dredging.

“The NPA was engaged in obvious profligacy and wastage of public funds to be spending over N50bn on an annual basis on contracts for which it could purchase machinery and build in-house capacity for greater long-term benefits.”

Ajani said at the expiration of previous contracts, the ministry had written to suspended NPA MD, Hadiza Bala Usman, to provide specifics on the success of the co tracts before awarding another but she declined to respond, in flagrant abuse of due process.

“The channel management contracts have been routinely awarded over the years by the Nigerian Ports Authority at a cost of between N50bn and N60bn on an annual basis. The Honourable Minister has adopted a firm position that the NPA should undertake the job of channel management on an in-house basis through the acquisition of the necessary machinery and professional capacity given the humongous annual sums paid out to dredging Contractors by the Authority.

“Following the expiration of the Channel Management contracts for the Lagos, Bonny and Port-Harcourt Channels in 2020 and the initiation of the contractual process for the renewal of the said contracts early in 2021, the HMT on 22nd January, 2021, while responding to a request for the NPA to provide requisite details related to the proposed transactions directed in the following words:

“There is the need for NPA to know that NPA should purchase their own equipment and not award any contract,” the statement read in part.

“Don’t hurt what you cannot kill”!

Amaechi knows this.

Now he has caused the suspension of Miss Hadiza, he must see to it that she’s totally annihilated and never reinstated because if she ever gets her powers back, it will be fight to finish.

So now Amaechi has hurt her, don’t blame him for trying to finish her up.

One of the Laws of Power states, “Finish your Enemy Completely”.

This is politics!

This is power play!

They will always award multi billion naira contracts that are within in house capacity to handle but no ,the contracts would always go to their cronies for embezzlement and money will be paid for contracts that do not exist.

You keep hiring machinery inform of embezzlement which you can procure by yourself for a long term use to cut humongous wastage and stealing.

SMH! @the kind of people and administrators @the helms of affairs in all our parastaltal.....very sick and pathetic greedy criminals.
Clueless leaders have refused to create good policies and implement commendable projects that will better the living standards of the citizens I cringe because these people are not gonna do these things with their personal resources or monies rather they get paid fat salaries and allowances to use our human mineral and tax payers money ...so why the heck is it so hard for them to do ? Rather they'll stack the monies somewhere in a foreign bank that will later be discovered and then they get indicted for embezzlement , money laundry e.t.c
WTF do we call such a skewed reasoning and mindsets? SMH once again.

We need young visionary leaders and not the present old mofos that have damaged mindsets of embezzlement, corrupt practices & stealing!


We need young visionary leaders come 2023 !!!

Good day.

I'm in a dilemma that need serious genuine help.

There are situations one never foresee and it comes leaving you with no choice but to ask even strangers just to ease the burden of immediate family.

I got married late last year and all was good until December 17th night I got a call my dad got STROKE. I had to travel leaving my pregnant wife to go take care of him. I ended up spending almost 3months in time and over 150k in cash during the period. I had 200k left which I was looking for a car on hire purchase for taxi since my income was nothing compared to the issue at hand. My Elder brother locked up his store since I had to return to my salary job.

currently, with my income, it's possible for me to meet up my dad and brother's need over there, my pregnant wife and my needs down here. My elder brother wants to return to his store and wants me back to taking care of my dad.

I can't leave because my wife is almost due to deliver and much has not been done.

So I had to use my 200k savings ( since I couldn't get a car) to rent an apartment and requested my dad joins me. He'll becoming anything from this weekend.

I've not been paid over a month.

I am in Benin and basically I need help.

I'm looking to raise 500k to get a decent car for cab. I'll payback on a weekly basis. I just want to make sure we all can eat while hoping for something better in the future.

please don't let scammers deprive you of genuinely helping those that truly needs help.

Contributions or a loan will go a long way.

WE RISE BY LIFTING OTHERS.

This is so bad but I see this as a mere propaganda against the women. They're all corrupt and they'll start exposing themselves very soon.

That is because the money they have stolen is too much and they don’t know what to do with it again.

It's starting to look like this is what this administration knows best - hiding corruption till they want to dispose of you.

The question one should ask is, why is this just coming out now?
