just give me 50.000,000 I will do the job
That my dear is the very problem with contracts and contractors in the country.
You are a nobody, so no one will give a nobody 50 m contract just like that.
Where did you capture witholding Tax and Vat? Or you think you won't pay any?
Workmans' insurance nko? Admin and operations staff salaries nko?
Some one said swamp Buggy? How much is rent for a week? The cost of a swamp Buggy is three times the contract value.
How do you transport the swamp Buggy upcountry?
There is an ongoing bloody insurgency? Money for logistics to Army and civilian JTF nko?
What of profit? Are you a charitable organisation? Lawal's only crime is ever having anything to do with company.

this is what happens when your accusations against other people is always 'absolute', with no margin for reasoning.

now some people here are defending Babachir & giving explanations. if it was the other way around, they would have been screaming their heads off with chants of corruption!

Babachir influenced that contract & got kickbacks, no doubt... but we all know that there will be more angry reactions to accuse him of stealing N270m rather than say N50m.

Lesson...

when accusing people of corruption or wrong doing, avoid using absolutes & extremes. allow room for rationalization. it doesn't mean you are wrong in accusing the person, but it shows you are willing to look at the variables & possible causes of certain actions.

that way, when your own person is accused & you try to rationalise or give alternative perspectives on the issue you won't come across as a hypocrite...

like Baba Fela would say... 'sofri, sofri...'

Due to the current recession, a day per work is #4000 but because of the nature of the work lets say it is 20k per day(with 20k /day i wil resign my work and join them ), and it takes them 30 days to complete the job in assumption that they were 100 in number, pls follow me with your calculator,each laborer will receive 20000x30=600,000(oboy this people don become offshore workers overnight oo) ,for 100 worker=600,000x100,total money spent on the project=#60,000000. that is 60 million naira.I don't think is corruption, it is called empowerment.For we to develop as a nation we must punish every form of crime/corruption.

The question here is not whether he executed the contract but if he used his current position as SFG to influence the award of the contract to his company.

IG Wala only just exposed the companys lack of expertise in vegetation management by posting these pics.

The contract amongst other things included for the removal of obstructive vegetation .they are supposed to uproot from the roots not just cut at water level.


In a few months these weeds will grow back agaon and they will award another mutli million naira contract.

This is not a case of whether the contract was executed or not,or whether it was inflated rather it's a pure case of graft where a public officer uses his influence and position in government to corner contracts to his personal business concerns whether or not he's still involved in the direct running of such companies he has business interest in. That my friend is the bone of contention here and it's a clear case of corruption,period!

Una don start again oo.. Do you clear such bush with cutlass? Stop supporting corruption
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 major stakeholder.

Such an act is also a form of corrupt practise.

You could modify your comment after you see the part where its noted that the project isn't just the grass alone, but also includes digging of 150 boreholes and irrigation networking of 3000 hectares of land

There is difference between manually using the locals to clear a swam water channel and using what we call swamp buggy.

Swamp buggy will upload the root of the plants and make it easily accessible for boats and canoe. What this people are doing is not worth a million naira job if I may tell you

Compare and contrast both ongoing and completed projects for you to know where technology was used..

Change begins with us


Some things are better left unsaid ..We wey know about dredging just dey look dem undecided

One would expect that with such a large amount equipments will be used, not very cheap labour.
This picture just worsens the SGF case, it's now a [b]clearer [/b]case of corruption.

225 million..., the guy who used his valuable time to post this as a form a defense is an adamu, just shows how ignorant some folks are.
