The contractor handling the N9.2billion worth of clean cook stoves and wonder bags awarded by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan has dragged the Federal Government to court. The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Environment, Fatima Mede, disclosed this to State House correspondents on Tuesday shortly after briefing President Muhammadu Buhari of the ministry’s activities inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Mede said the contractor approached the court to order the government not to terminate the contract following the emergence of the present administration. The Jonathan-led Federal Executive Council had on November 26, 2014 approved N9.2billion inclusive of Value Added Tax for the procurement of 750,000 units of clean cook stoves and 18,000 wonder bags. The contract was awarded in favour of Messrs Integra Renewable Energy Services Limited. There have been calls on the present administration to terminate the contract. Confirming the legal action, Mede said the ministry had briefed the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation on the development. She said the government would appear before the court to argue its case. She however did not say if there were plans to terminate the contract. She said, “The matter is in court right now, so there is a limit to how I can talk about the issue of cooking stoves. “The contractor took government to court asking the court to grant an injunction for government not to terminate the contract. “We will go there and argue our case, the government will go, we have briefed the Attorney General’s office. “We will present our case on the issue that led to the contractor taking us to court, it will be explained and the court will decide.” Mede said during her team’s meeting with Buhari, the President raised concerns over environmental degradation in the country. She said the President was aware that the sustainability of the country would depend on how well the environment was managed. She added that the rate of desertification and afforestation in the country was alarming. She said over 43 per cent of Nigerians were affected by the effect of desertification. The Permanent Secretary also pointed to the conflict between the herdsmen and farmers because of forced migration. She said the President had directed that to reduce the rate at which wood was being cut down for cooking, the ministry should consider promoting the use of LPG especially in the cities. http://www.punchng.com/news/contractor-sues-fg-over-jonathans-n9-2bn-stoves/

Jonathan's government was disturbingly myopic and lack good initiatives. What impact would stoves have on the lives of those poor people? N9.2bn is enough to embark on a life-changing mission on an entire community. When you buy stoves for them, will you also buy kerosene? If it is an electric stove, is it a village that has not witnessed power supply that will enjoy the stove? It beats my imagination how a learned president of the federation will decide to take us aback to the olden days. He did the same by throwing his locomotive trains to the face of Nigerians. What a waste of 6 years! 4 Likes |

It will never be well with you jonathan for the mess you plunged this country into.

What happens to the N1.3 billion part payment made to the useless contractor? So no stoves and we don't get our money back? The same ministry claimed the useless contractor had supplied 15% of the total order i.e 112,500 stoves. Where are the stoves kept? Have they been distributed to the so called rural women? Where is the proof that any distribution took place?  2 Likes |

Unless there is a valid reason to terminate the contract, I think it should be left alone, afterall, it benefits Nigerians. |

My advise for this present government is to probe the contract to ensure the right figure is being presented before re-awarding because this items will help and save our depleted climate. However, the government should also provide our indigenous company to design and develop the stove !!!  |
