The Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) said Friday that it had received bank guarantees worth $335,854,986 from the preferred bidders for both generation (Gencos) and distribution (Discos) firms under the ongoing privatisation of successor companies of Power Holding Company of Nigeria. It follows the expiration of the 15-business-day of notification from the BPE for successful investors to submit a "Preferred Bidder's Bank Guarantee." The deadline for receipt of the bank guarantee elapsed Friday. The privatisation agency in a statement signed by its spokesman, Chukwuma Nwokoh said $188,476,306.00 worth of bank guarantee was received from preferred bidders for the Discos, while $147,378,680.15 was submitted by investors for the Gencos.

In addition, the $45,000,000.00 was submitted by Transcorp/Woodrock/Sumbion/Medea/PSL/Thomassen for Ughelli Power Plc. The National Council on Privatisation had approved the payment mechanism for the PHCN successor Gencos and Discos at its sixth meeting, which was held October. It involved the submission by the preferred bidders of additional bid security in the form of a letter of credit or bank guarantee for fifteen percent (15 percent) of the transaction value to the Bureau of Public Enterprises. The NCP had also approved the next steps for the conclusion of the privatisation of the generation and distribution companies. The next stage involves the invitation of designated preferred bidder for negotiations with the BPE. Within fifteen (15) business days, after signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Shareholders' Agreement or the Performance Agreement, whichever is earlier, or at a mutually agreed earlier time, the bidder shall make a down payment of twenty-five percent (25 percent of the share purchase price. Within six (6) months after signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement or the Shareholders' Agreement, whichever is earlier or a mutually agreed upon time, the bidder will be required to pay the outstanding seventy five per cent of the share purchase price to complete the transaction, the statement explained. Upon the payment of the 25% of the purchase price, the preferred bidder’s bank guarantee will be returned to the bidder. After the completion of payment, the hand over of the successor companies to the preferred bidders will conclude the transaction. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/phcn-privatisation-fg-receives-335m-bank-guarantees/131548/ |

HATERS, internet RATS and COCKROACHES dislike this sort of news. The country is moving forward. Our president is firm and focused on the ball. I'm glad that in the next couple of months the privatisation of PHCN will be concluded and Nigerians will be happy for it. |
