Bala Mohammed Awards ₦3.6 Billion Contract To His Own Company by wwwihy(op): 9:41am On Feb 23, 2020

Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, has awarded a company in which he is a director a shady contract worth N3.6 billion, in clear contravention of Code of Conduct and Public Procurement laws, PREMIUM TIMES can report.

The contract was for the supply of a whopping 105 “officials vehicles” for the use of the governor and other government officials.

Just like the award of the contract, delivery by the contractor remains controversial with allegations of shady execution.

Officials familiar with the issue said the contract awarded to Adda Nigeria Limited, a company in which Mr Mohammed retains a 20 per cent stake, was one of his first actions as governor.

The former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was elected governor of the northeastern state in a poll that was seen as a referendum against the then incumbent Mohammed Abubakar who sought a second term.

Prior to his election as governor, Mr Mohammed was standing trial for alleged corruption during his stay as the FCT minister.

The anti-corruption agency, EFCC, first filed six-count charges against Mr Mohammed on October 10, 2017. He was accused of abuse of office and land racketeering. He denied the charges.

In April 2019, weeks after his election as governor, the agency slammed amended charges on Mr Mohammed before the FCT High Court, accusing him, among other things, of receiving a house valued at N550 million in gratification.

He was also accused of failing to disclose his ownership of some property.

With his inauguration as governor on May 29, the EFCC halted Mr Mohammed’s prosecution, in deference to the constitutional immunity from prosecution enjoyed by holders of such positions in Nigeria.

Fresh scandal
Mr Mohammed is now engrossed in a fresh scandal from his first days as Bauchi governor.

The controversial contract is among government contracts awarded by the governor prior to constituting the state executive council.

Other required procedures were also ignored as the paperwork was only hastened months after the actual contract award.

Contracts of this nature are expected to follow standard bidding processes through open competitive bidding, according to the Bauchi State Public Procurement, Budget Monitoring and Price Intelligence Agency law.

Why not load taxi transport cards for Govt workers rather than official cars..

Lure an app based transport taxi system to the state, all their trips are paid for via the loaded card system.

Benefits;
- official destination trip tracking.
- massive employment mo up.
- employment for entrepreneur drivers.
- no maintenance bill.
- no purchase cost.
- investment in the private sector.
- better monitoring of Govt staff.

We need to start thinking outside the box...

Just yesterday, An ancient building popped up on SM. When some folks saw it was the building in which Lord Lugard almagamated the southern and Northern protectorates, they start venting their anger on the Innocent Lugard, Some even went as far as Laying curses on the lifeless ancient building.....

But they are not the real issue we have....The real problems we have in Nigeria is her leaders just like this Bala mohammed and his Son shamshudeen and several other thieves parading themselves as leaders....

This man and other looters in govt are the problem of this country..

Nothing surprises me anymore about Nigerian politicians. They are capable of anything.

As long as the Bauchi people and their State Assembly are cool with it, there may be little or nothing we can do about it when except make some noise online for a few days until it is overtaken by events.

Do they operate Shari'a in that state?
