You people have building department, in which building engineers are employed, yet, still be patronising contractors for every little project.

Why did you employ civil and building engineers and be paying them for 35 years? If you know, you aren't going to engage their services.

Latter you would be ranting, civil servants are unproductive.

You didn't read where it said without furnishing??

Who pays 10 billion naira to build smart school. That money is too small now. Suji moto is the one saying the truth here

You too sit down. Your statement does not negate his statement. What you said is true and what he said is also true.
We in this part of the world like seeing the big ones fail or in trouble. This assertion is not limited to the scenario at hand.

Oga sit down and stop being overtly emotional like a teenager. A man executing billions of naira jobs has no business crying when declared wanted by EFCC, get a lawyer, go and answer and head to court to say out your side not social media crying, that's manipulative and it only shows he is guilty in my book.

Have u done business? Giving 10 billion naira for 50 smart schools is untenable. Im a builder and I believe Suji moto side of the story. I feel his pain

Stop misleading with your wrong info...
₦11b for 22 smart schools..
As a businessman and contractor. If he unfamiliar with this terrain he should have consulted before taking the contract... The cry on social media is manipulative .
Go to efcc with your lawyer and defend yourself... After all when he collected the contract he didn't cry...

Have been seeing pictures of the Smart School project under construction collapsing. Now I understand what is going on

Always knew there was something off about this guy, see opportunity people are looking for. He allowed himself to succumb to greed

It remains one guy that is forming Nigerian American real estate investor, investment coach, serial entrepreneur; with the “G” in the name of his compay; you should already know. Don’t worry e go cast one day.

Wetin you dey yarn bro

Suji himself mentioned that he was completely aware the funds won't be enough to achieve it purpose but he went ahead to agree and started the job...which is against his standards as attested by him

Some business deals na trap..

You suppose know as per professional..

Government wey don madd....dem fit don commot 50b from state account come give you 11b to build the smart schools...

Just like make Person give you 100m to buy a property worth 500m ... begging you to help him acquire it

It's obviously a trap...but you no go wan know cos you never see 100m before....

He be like he never see that 11b before...so he wan use sense take do the work in a substandard way.. at least him ma self go wan gain

You leave all the engineers and contractors in your ministry, state and went to employ the service of one that sells luxury condos and homes in Lagos to build schools for children in your state. A project he claimed he has never done before this has no experience in that field.

That’s what our so called politicians do, they prefer to import foreign contractors to do jobs that local contractors will do well and at a much lower cost.

Wetin carry you go ENUGU sef ??
A group of people that hate each other on a normal day is were u wan go find food. See as u done collect .

U think biafraland is lagos?
U no see as den dey run 4rm there backyard

Nor bring tribal sentiments into this. A thief is a thief. The Enugu govt didn't look at tribe when they gave him the contract. Or you think there are no igbo contractors that can do a better job?

And na una dey tribalistic pass for this country

If untenable as you pointed, why go ahead by agreeing to execute the project simply unprofessional, with traces of greed.

omoredia:

It’s was 22 smart schools. Even if it can’t build 22 schools, he is foolish for accepting the contract. It means he did not do his job well

I don’t blame him for that’s how it works when we have pad iPads government if we check very well is not the only one that shop the money

Nigeria. A contractor's paradise. Where a lazy government does nothing but abdicates it's responsibilities to merchants of corruption, rent seeking and round tripping.

The question I would ask looking at this comedy at face value is, how did the Enugu state government discover this man and his company. Where did they meet. How come?.
Answer this question and discover one of the societal problems afflicting this country.

Then ask this. The government has all the money. The man is bringing not a penny to build the schools. You have capacity to supervise to see that he did not do a good job.

So what in the freaking world is stoping you from building those schools YOURSELF. I don't just get it. There must be hundreds and thousands of youths, able bodied men and women that can deliver those projects by direct supervision at a fraction of that cost.

There is absolutely no reason for a poor country to get involved in the waste called contracting as a government policy. No reason whatsoever.

Let government operatives get off their lazy butts and go deliver those things. Mobilize the youths in those areas to go build those schools, roads, hospitals, water works, rail lines and industrial parks and create a society of value through jobs and productivity.

And most of all so that the economic benefits are domiciled in the catchment area where the funds are generated.

China did not start its industrial journey by delegating responsibility and contracting out it's development. But the foundation of every great industrial nation has been the people.

The ability of government to mobilize mass numbers to lay the foundations of industry is the key to development. And only when everyone had been engaged does the application of the leverage of contracting as a force multiplier kicks in. That is why you observe one characteristic of great industrial, developed nations. Their work ethic.

It is a lazy, wasteful venture for governments at all levels to throw their resources away via this national malaise called contracting.

dont mind that unserious man Sujimoto. he must collect.

omoredia:
I dont know why nigerians rejoice when a successful person is in problems. Very wrong mentality

Sujimoto has baggage. Scott Iguma has been calling him out on social media for having several of his workers complain of being owed salaries for months. Instead of addressing the issue, he's sacking those who publicly complained that they were being owed. That is evil! Nobody rejoices for his issues; the problem here is that he doesn't have a good reputation.

Doing business is not same with contractual agreement. Once you sign a contract you are binded to the terms and conditions. When there's a variation, it doesn't stop contract from going ahead. The contractor goes to court to declare a force majeure why he can't go ahead but even before that he should have the "capacity" to move the work to a certain percentage.

Crying and coming to SM is emotionally blackmailing his client,he should be showing court documents that shows his backings. These things are not rocket science, that's why many government and international companies hate giving contract work to local companies..Have you ever seen a Chinese company CEO or foreign companies managers cry over a failed contractual agreement. Abeggi it's not about who you believe or not but about doing the right thing when you are obligated.

Gov. Mbah should blame himself how many yoruba governors does he see giving out contracts to igbo contractors?

How can contractor present a bond from jaiz bank and you pay the contract into zenith bank?

The man who knew his guarantor was one bank but collected the money via another bank will explain. The govt who was given guarantee by one bank and knowingly paid the funds into another bank will explain.

Both parties knew what they were doing. Cunny man die, cunny man bury am!

So why did he take the job when he knew the money was too small?

Mrexcell:

another angle.
Maybe the governor was trying to defraud the state too

I trust neither of them to say the full truth. Someone in either or both camps has chopped monies and from the way this is going, in a civilised society there would be a proper investigation and report.

I don't care how factual about his statement. Everywhere in the world there are always going to be people not happy with a rich person but the question is "did he do the right thing", was the right process followed?. My stance is from the fact when you have any reason to abdicate a contractual agreement, you don't need social media drama rather you go to court and obtain necessary requirements. What Sujimoto should be doing is releasing company statement on how he has gone to court to seek redress and not trying to blackmail his clients with tears and media war.

This is why foreign contractors will always be ahead of the Nigerian ones

Nailja ones will promise heaven n earth yet delivered below par projects

The people of this country should wake up and press for new, revolutionary leadership that will take this country to real greatness by restoring the values of work, the ethic of creating, doing things, of true independence.

Enough of this attitude of throwing money at every need. The value of this country lies in the quality of the people and we cannot move forward if we cannot get things done.

The Enugu government has no business giving out its scarce resources to one individual hundreds of miles away to deliver what it deems critical infrastructure. Who does that.

It is like a poor, hungry man who has just been paid for a hassle and he now sits back and orders a pizza from a franchise across town. Now begins to lament when dispatch cannot locate him because he lives in a undesignated slum.

What kind of distorted life are we living in this country abeg. I was on the highway a few days ago and the state of the roads are just terrible, absolutely in shambles. And we are giving.out contracts wily nily worth trillions....

E come hook am for neck

DesChyko:
When we were calling out the work done on the so-called Smart Schools considering how much it cost, it was misinterpreted to mean we were against the work he is doing for one reason or the other. Now, look?

Ignore political sycophants and call out poor governance wherever it exists.

Sincerely speaking, Enugu State government messed up, they have part of the blame for their fiscal recklessness. There are factors you consider before giving out contract. I don't know who are his backers, but it shouldn't have passed BPP requirements.

A contractor bidding for such contract should have "capacity" which simply means ability to shore up his own funds to push the work. If Sujimoto had capacity he would have done more than 50% of the job, get the client to re negotiate and at worse case went to court to obtain "force majeure". This just makes mockery of his corporate existence and definitely put his reputation in tatters. Becoming a big time contractor isn't "Baby I want to eat Shawarma".

Enugu government didn't do their due diligence and should be blame but again let him refund part of the money and seek out of court settlement otherwise they will smoke his nyash and he will be fried... This is my unbias analysis.

omoredia:

So a fraudster is now a successful person?
He got a contract and was heavily mobilized and abandoned it and made himself unreachable to the extent that EFCC declared him wanted.
Why run away from your client and with his money and refused to make yourself available?

....

One of the smart school in one rural area like that collapsed while still under construction...
