President Says Ministers Won't Award Contracts Again by lolaxavier(m): 1:54am On Jul 26, 2015 |
As part of the ongoing reform of several strata of the Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that ministers won’t be having the luxury of awarding contracts or getting corrupt in how contracts are awarded. Speaking with journalists in Washington DC during his four-day visit to the United States, Buhari said ministers would no longer have power to award contracts. In his words, ‘I have already acted to remove political control over awarding of contracts away from ministers, who use them to get political favours and kickbacks,’ In furtherance, the president disclosed that the introduction of a new system of plea bargaining to encourage looters of the government money and oil thieves to return the people’s stolen commonwealth. » ‘I will introduce a new system of plea bargain, that will allow those who have stolen assets and funds to return them – but if they do not take that opportunity we will pursue them through the courts.’ Noting that corruption is one of the top issues facing Nigeria, Buhari disclosed further that his government is taking several steps to end the menace. ‘Corruption is one of the top three issues facing Nigeria, along with insecurity and unemployment. We must act to kill corruption or corruption will kill Nigeria. I am determined to lead that fight. ‘My government is already taking several steps to cut out the cancer of corruption that has been eating away at the state for so long. ‘We are reorganizing the existing plethora of anti-corruption bodies into single powerful agency that will have the focus, power and budget to clamp down on corruption at the federal and state levels,’ the president told journalists. http://pulse.ng/politics/buhari-president-says-ministers-wont-award-contracts-again-id4010267.html 55 Likes 1 Share

Sanity is returning gradually. Am glad Buhari decides to set things straight before appointing career politicians to work for him. Now you either accept the Terms, turn down any appointment or get kicked out. Prospective Minister take note. No more business as usual. 80 Likes 1 Share |

Everything is going to be controlled from buharis kitchen! There, we have Tinubu, Danjuma and Amechi, his anti-corruption czars holding sway! Interesting! This is what you get when a highly opionated mercenery press intentionally introduces a very haughty-angry character as a stoic-serious minded/textbook administrator. . A blundering bimbo who will travel to another country for bilateral engagements that includes business deals without his countrys businessmen. Treating business as a crime in the process. . You can only act thus when your ultimate acheivement in business is to own 150 malnourished cows. This Daurra Disaster! 38 Likes 4 Shares |

Awarding contract to any firm will approximately inflate any cost of project by minimum 30% whereas having qualified and professional employed permanently by the government will not only cut cost but simultaneously create employment ,The same people will be employed by contractor which is an infringement on their hard labour. Apparently the dwindling revenue should not give room to contract. 6 Likes 1 Share |
