The Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing on Friday said it had terminated any contract with Lead Consultant on its National Power Sector Apprenticeship Scheme. This was contained in a statement signed by Timothy Oyedeji, the Director Press of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja. The statement stated that the notice became necessary as the ministry in its letter of notification dated October 28, 2015, conveyed government’s approval to end its phase-one of the scheme. It added that this was pending until a full audit as directed by the present administration was done. It stated that the Divisional Police Officer at the Federal Secretariat was notified that the Ministry’s contract with Lead Consultant, Sybil Williamson of Wittengeisen and Walter Limited was terminated. It added that a letter to that effect was also sent to the former co-ordinator. It stated that from this development, the contractors no longer worked for or acted on behalf of the Ministry. It stated that henceforth public should not entertain any request through advertisement or direct solicitation for selection of trainees from the former co-ordinator in respect of the National Power Sector Apprenticeship Scheme
