250million or what is the figure. Shouldn't they be using bulldozers or tractors?

Enice:
I am not saying SGF is right or wrong but this method of cutting would be far more beneficial to the immediate local econmy than using a mechanized method (swamp buggy) as this method would create employment to the men in the area which will also boost petty trading.

@ OP,

Nobody said he looted funds.

As a govt official, he was accused of abuse of office by awarding contracts to a company in which he is a major stakeholder.

Such an act is also a form of corrupt practise.

spartan50:

So if you use cutlass to clear you would spend 200 million to pay for labor as your SGF has done . In the south labor is 3k per day. An average of 66,000 men would be needed for the job. But I can barely see up to 20 men there.. Please let's be honest he stole the money.. This year we no go gree for them.. Enough?!!!

Popular social media user IG Wala from Gombe who took a fact finding tour at the scene of grass cutting saga that landed SGF Babachir in trouble.According to him,facts on ground revealed that Babachir did not loot the funds meant for the contract as wrongly portrayed by the media.Below is what he wrote...

'See how water channels/canals are opened allowing water to flow between Hadejia Nguru down to Gashua straight into Lake Chad.
IS THIS MERE GRASS CUTTING?'

What do you think?
This is a serious but difficult job. Cutting of water line occupied by weeds is not easy. The advantage out weighs the criticisms

Enice:
have you read the terms of the contract? Do you know if it is for clearing and maintenance for a certain period of time?

Royalfurnitures:
There are forces against the man and they just used the grass cutting contract to get at him. So I fell.

GET SOME SENSE please, this is 2017. Learn to comprehend before dishing out your vile. Did you not read where I wrote that "I am not saying the SGF maybe right or wrong"? Come to think of it, you saw a picture and you assumed there are 20 men. You did some calculation and arrived at some rubbish. Have you seen the terms of the contract? Do you know if they are in teams of 20? Or if that is what you could see from the picture. Do you know for what period (six month, a year, two years etc) the contract is to run? Do you know the area in square meters to be cut down and the amount charged per square meter? Do you know the length of the place, the dangers involved etc? These and so many other questions you don't know. Yet you are quick to judge. The only thing you can say now is that it is wrong for the SGF to award himself a contract. Even at that. We are still waiting for the outcome of the investigation.

spartan50:

The honest truth nothing would happen to him... Terms of contract you say? So you have teams of 20 everywhere in that bush? O boy open your eyes.. Be constructive in your judgement.. Even if he was to use machines he would prefer to use cheap labour.. Keep supporting mediocrity. Young minds come 2019! No need for all this old men who use old sense..

samofson:


Clearing and maintenance will also mean removal ...it's not a garden that u just trim...it's a water way to be used for irrigation.

Enice:
stop opening that smelly pile hole you call a mouth. For God sakes, are you there? Even if it is just 20 men do you know for what period the contract is to run? No. The STFU.
