The Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved N623.7 million for the Nigeria Customs Service to buy computers for its zonal and area commands.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, gave the information at the end of the virtual FEC meeting on Wednesday.

“The Minister of Finance presented a memo for the award of contract for 1, 200 units of coloured printers and desktop computers for human resources and accounting management systems across zones and area commands of the Nigeria Customs Service, which was approved.


“The sum of the contract was N623,700,000 for the 1, 200 desktops and computers for the use of the Customs Service all over the country,” Mohammed told reporters.

God will punish all the pen robbers who use annual budgets to steal the nations resources.

public institutions keeps defrauding the nation under the guise of buying office equipment

Hmmm

Chai...Nigeria is gone, who's actually advising buhari or who is really the president of Nigeria Other countries are talking about how to inject money into their economy to survive the post covid 19 period but here we are sending money to other economy

Every year they buy virtually same computers.

Not bad as long as they patronize local manufacturers like Zinox. Thank you.

N623,700,000 ÷ N1,200 = N519,750
For each unit of computer with a printer.

This is a shame

Dear Nairalanders, please help me as I rebuke every spirit attempting to end my life via suicide. I'm currently faced with house rent and hunger problems due to this lockdown. No where else to go. Your little help can restore hope in me. Please come to my rescue.

My account details on my profile. Thank you.

You can imagine

N623,700,000 ÷ N1,200 = N519,750

Are we sure FEC is attended by sane humans?

If this is not misplaced priority, the amount allocated to buy these computers and printers are just too much. That is about N520,000 to supply each set. Even if they quoted for the highest or best specification, the contractor will eventually supply the least to maximize profit.

We will not take it !
The siphoning of government funds is too much.

What manner of fuckery corruption is this for goodness sake.How do this people feel in their conscience about all these decisions they're taking?

This is daylight robbery and misplaced priority. Instead of squandering N600m on computers, it would have been better to give grant of N10,000,000 each to 60 serious entrepreneurs and small manufacturing companies. This would have generated more jobs and boost our economy. What happened to the former computers?

The corruption under Buhari is legendary.

Gold plated computers

Unless they’re buying Mac which is misplaced priority by the way, we all know how this money will end up.

Dammm, are they buying Server Computer systems or Alien ware Computers.

Politicians in Nigeria, I salute you guys

This government is taking Nigerians for granted. Last week it was school feeding program now is laptop.

The ongoing looting in this administration is quite alarming.

If I carry more own lesser quotation on purchase of computer, they will not approve it...i can supply them at the rate of 90k per one...

See money. ..all I will use to buy the computer no go pass 150m and they quoted 600M...
Corruption per second

Gold plated computers

With diamond buttons.

The printers will print with gold ink.

Yet they will say N78m is too much for procuring the Madagascar herbal medicine.

Why not 5 billion?

.
The funny thing here is Leo Stan Ekeh's Zinox computers should be patronized as a Nigerian company making computers just so they can grow bigger and pay more taxes, but No, the government's procurement officers care less and would rather buy from untraceable sources..

This one na country?

Hmmmm

Ok na

Where the APC apologists ?
