Dittodat: Thank you. This is the kind of lazy journalism that our hacktivists are using to try to turn people against government. It doesn't matter whether "Lati" is an area boy or mechanic, if he registers a company, bids for a contract and wins, all that is required is to find out IF HE DELIVERS. Most petty contractors who do supplies are basically middle men. The most important and relevant question is performance, not qualifications or offices. 1 Like 1 Share |

Dittodat: God bless you! So because he's a mechanic he can't aspire to do more and better business? Even if we assume he was used as a conduit , I can assure you that contract didn't go to any lagos politician, 13m is chicken change to politicians, it must be a civil servant that got the contract and used the mechanic to do the job, the main question is did he deliver the items ? Lasg confirmed they were supplied so he has no case . Finally any business registered with cac and having general contractor or services in its profile is acceptable to do business with government. 1 Like 1 Share |

Dittodat: Are you justifying 8m contract for liquid fragrance or 2.3m for printing of pamphlets issued to a person who had no idea what the journalists were talking about? It's quite evident that this mechanic was serving as a front for someone in government who is mismanaging public funds possibly a family member or a friend in government. How was the contracted awarded to this mechanic? What qualifying criterion was used to justify this award? Or perhaps is this some form of empowerment scheme? Inflated contracts is corruption and misuse of public funds whether in Nigeria or the US. EFCC should not hesitate to investigate this issue and shed light on these grey areas highlighted. Last last the funds may have not been stolen but insofar as there is some suspicion of misuse of public funds there is need for clarification for avoidance of doubt. In a democracy government has to be accountable to the people. 2 Likes |

malton: Theres no conttoversy at all. This is govts procurement system. Govt contractors arent manufactured from heaven, they are also nigerians. They dont have 2 heads. What is it that makes lati less qualified? Because he is a mechanic? We have a lot of freelancers out there on the streets who can even sell you zuma rock in abuja if you need it and yet are medical doctors or civil ebgineers. Even Peter Obi cant change govts procurement system because it is a kind of economic engine room that is used to settle the boys. |

AbuTwins:Listen to what you are saying.... Is it compulsory to make a comment when you don't have anything reasonable to say? Why should a contract for printing of posters or directories be awarded to a mechanic? What ability or expertise in printing has he demonstrated to be deserving of such a contract? We are crying that corruption is strangling the economy and you on the other hand seem to be justifying corruption on the grouse of public procurement. |

benardtotti: Your response shows you justify such condemnable actions! If there is no case to answer, why was he used as a conduit? Does that not already indicate that the selection process for the award of the contracts was biased? If the civil servant in question knew what he was doing was right there would be no need for a conduit. These contracts that should have gone to deserving Lagosians were instead diverted for selfish gains. As a mechanic, he should and could package himself and his business well, get it registered and apply for a contract to service government vehicles which is his area of expertise. Or he can setup a printing press and solicit for printing business from the government. That's the proper thing. Unfortunately, many Lagosians are so used to corruption that they see nothing wrong here or perhaps choose to pretend to see nothing wrong for political or tribal reasons which is unfortunate because these diverted contracts are empowerment opportunities denied to deserving Lagosians. |

There is nothing wrong with what they did. look at this scenario I got information that the government is looking to give contract for the purchase of table and desk for schools in Lagos state. I a barber saw it has an opportunity to make side money, I registered a company, submitted my bids with samples gotten from a nearby carpenter shop, got the contract, paid the carpenter to make the chairs, delivered it to Lagos state government and keep the profits. Now how is this illegal? |

adrusa: This is how corruption started in government and this is why government contracts are inflated because of Middlemen. Contracts are supposed to be awarded on the basis of both competence and pricing. Otherwise middlemen seeking to maximise profit would compromise quality and grease whatever palms necessary to secure same and maximise profit. That's why many public projects are not constructed to last. Government officials who have been compromised to secure the contract will definitely not enforce quality control in the execution of same. 1 Like |

benardtotti: Let us for a minute ignore the fact that this mechanic was not even aware that his company was used to collect contract. Let's assume that he was aware and executed same. What business is he into to deserve being awarded contract for the supply of fragrance over tax paying wholesalers or retailers of same who also bid for the contract? How will he compete in terms of pricing with direct suppliers of fragrances? You can see already there must have been compromise in the process! Ditto the printing contract!!! There are thousands of Lagosians that are printers with the requisite equipment, staffing, skills and experience who would have bid for the contract who were sidetracked to issue same to this mechanic with no knowledge of printing or no evidence of paying tax on a printing business in Lagos state. How is this not corruption? Let us proceed further to the contract award sum... 8m just for fragrance. Which kind of fragrance is that? Where is it produced? Was it imported or locally sourced? How can you prove otherwise that this contract was not inflated? In a time when the country is in recession and people are going through a lot, do you think spending 8m on fragrance alone is a judicious use of public funds? 1 Like |

3ple9iner: Let me ask you this question.... If you were building your house and needed tiles for your floors, Would you go and source tiles from a wholesaler or instead get a mechanic who knows nothing about tiles to deliver the tiles to you? Even when engaging him and he tells you he's a mechanic but he can supply you tiles, won't you quietly tell him that you will call him when you car has a fault? Why then should it be different for government and we expect Nigeria to become better? 1 Like |

That the business entity is no more at the registered address is not a big deal they can move to another office and secondly your investigation is inconclusive if you cannot ascertain that the Lati guy is the same as the contractor. Let's be professional and fair with our reportage. Lagos State government is extremely shoddy with expenditures. |
