There is a post currently trending on the frontpage of how GEJ scammed Nigeria with a cooking stove scheme that is currently laying waste in the National Stadium.

Before APC whip up another propaganda, here are the facts of the story:

1) The quantity of stoves stipulated to be distributed in the contract was 750,000 as against the 20 million cooking stoves been dangled around by BMC members as evidenced in this post.

seunmsg:


700k was delivered out of 20million. That's less than 5% of the contractual agreement. Jonathan presided over the FEC meeting that awarded the contract. He ordered the ministry of finance to release N5billion for the project. He should have put in place mechanism to ensure that the program was fully delivered and implemented as approved.

2) 700,000 pieces out of the 750,000 pieces of the stoves were actually supplied by the contractor Messrs Integra Renewable Energy Services Limited.

3) only 15% of the contract amount (contract sum is 9.2 billion. 15% of that is around N1.4 billion ) was paid to the contractor as mobilization, and it is with this amount that he imported the over 700k stoves.

4) The minister of environment revoked the contract and has refused to pay the contractor the balance of the fees as stipulated in the contract.

5) All this were happening in May ,2015 at the very tail end of GEJ's administration. The project was duly handed over to the new Buhari government who stalled it ( they took 6 months to appoint ministers) and left the stoves rotten away.

You can read the full gist with facts as reported by Daily Trust below:

Don't let APC fool you again with propaganda. Ask them for facts!!

The controversy trailing the N9.3 billion contract awarded by the Federal Executive Council for the purchase of clean cook stoves and wonder bags is far from being over as efforts to procure and distribute the stoves are being frustrated by officials of the Ministry of Environment.
The contract was awarded to Messrs Integra Renewable Energy Services Limited late last year for the procurement of 750,000 clean cook stoves of various models and 18,000 wonder bags for free distribution to women in the rural areas.
The ministry started with the inauguration of an implementation committee made up of members drawn from development partners, civil societies, media, auditors and procurement officers from the ministry but the committee was disbanded on the order of the minister after three sittings.
Suspecting foul play, a non-governmental organisation, Connected Development (CODE) wrote to the minister of environment on the strength of the Freedom of Information Act demanding a detailed breakdown of how the N9.3 billion was used and how the stoves and wonder bags would be distributed.
CODE also converge a stakeholders meeting recently on the clean cook stove and participants at the meeting were told how efforts to get the ministry to explain to Nigerians when the stoves would be distributed failed to yield result.
The group was able to trace the contract file between the ministry and Messrs Integra Renewable Energy Services Limited and it showed that 15 per cent of the contract sum had been paid to the contractor as mobilisation.
Daily Trust investigation however revealed that while only 15 per cent of the contract sum was paid to the contract, records at the ministry showed that about 40 per cent of the contract sum had been paid out.
Following the mobilisation, our checks revealed that the contractor had procured and brought into the Velodrome at the National Stadium over 200,000 pieces of the clean cook stoves including mini LPGs, Stove 80, Envirofit among others.
The ministry was to follow up on the issuance of waiver to the company for the procurement but this was also terminated and as a result over 500,000 pieces of the stoves are currently being held at one of the ports in Lagos.
The ministry, in its bid to thwart the contract, also wrote to the bank that granted an Advance Payment Guarantee to the company to stop further transaction with the company as it had failed to carry out the contract.
A staff of the bank who pleaded anonymity told Daily Trust that, “We were shocked when we saw the letter from the ministry but the contractor was able to bring evidence to the bank of work done so far and certified by officials of the ministry.”
A directorate staff at the accounts department in the ministry who also didn’t want to be mention told Daily Trust that the going on in the ministry regarding the stoves showed clearly that the stoves would never get to the rural women.
“The contractor is subjected to all sorts of abuses and ridicule because he has refused to ‘cooperate’ and if things continue this way, I’m sure they will never be paid,” the source said, “The contractor was asked to bring in a little less number of the stoves than what was contained in the contract but his refusal has pitched him against the minister who has only few days left in the ministry and the permanent secretary who has taken charge of the whole affair,” the staff said.
Several attempts were made to carry out a national launch of the scheme but none came to pass as a lot of interests ensured that it did not happen, chief among which was that if the scheme was launched in the middle of campaigns the overall meaning or purpose for which it was meant will be defeated.
Various stakeholders had kicked against the scheme saying that free distribution of the stoves would kill the emerging clean cookstove market which painstaking efforts had gone into building over the years.
Effort to reach the contractor was not successful as he was said to have relocated from his office in the Central Business District in Abuja.
The ministry’s spokesperson, Mr Bem Gong, said the minister cannot honour Daily Trust request for an interview on the issue as she was busy with handover activities.
Gong however said that all inquires, issues or questions regarding the clean cook stoves would be addressed by the ministry in a press release that will be sent out on June 5 to commemorate the World Environment Day.

I'm still looking for any proof of your claims. No links , nothing.
Aside from the fact that stoves at a cost of over 5 billion Naira (imported for that matter, thus giving no direct benefit to the Nigerian economy) was poorly conceived and should not have been a priority, I'm yet to see any true benefits of this project

Believe APC lie and die young

APC dey craze no mean say Jona na option. GEJ and Bubu are bunch of fool 4 handling the affair of this great nation like pampers

Did you see the link to the investigative journalism article by Daily Trust i posted? Agreed the initiative could have been conceived better but the actual contract was executed as agreed and no scam whatsoever took place.

The contractor was given mobilisation fees of 5.2 billion (15%) and supplied 700k out of 750k.
But the contact was for 750k stoves

One of the prerequisites of being an APC supporter is being able to lie and spread propaganda.....


The party is EVIL
And nothing good can ever come out of it

Yes. The contractor was paid 15% of the N5.2 billion as mobilization. This is normal with every government contract.

The real question we should be asking is, when buhari came into power, why didn't he do all he can to make sure those stoves didn't go to waste? The stoves were delivered in May, 2015.

Okay...
You know APC has run out of ideas... blame is their only option left.. Well PDP aren't saint either

You guys defending corruption should cover your faces in shame. N5billion was released for the project and only N1.3billion was paid to the contractor. The balance was diverted by Jonathan and his cronies. It is pure evil for you or any other person to defend this fraud that was perpetrated against the Nigerian people.

Below is the story vanguard did on the matter a year ago.

1 year ago
The House of Representatives, on Tuesday, gave its committees on Anti-Corruption, Environment and Habitat six weeks to investigate former President Gooodluck Jonathan’s “Clean Stove For Rural Women scheme”, contract of about N9.287 billion.

The resolution followed a motion by Rep. Abiodun Faleke (APC-Lagos), which was unanimously adopted by members through a voice vote.



Faleke noted that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) had approved a contract for the supply of 20 million units of clean stove and wonder bags under the clean stove scheme for rural women.

He added that the contract was at a unit cost of N464.00, amounting to about N9.287 billion.

The lawmaker said that following the approval of FEC, the Federal Ministry of Finance released the sum of N5 billion to the Federal Ministry of Environment for the execution of the project.


Jonathan- clean stoves, reps
He further disclosed that Integra Energy Renewable Services Limited was awarded the contract for the supply of the 20 million units.


Faleke also said that the company was paid the sum of N1.3 billion out of the N5 billion released by the Ministry of Environment as mobilisation fee without due process.

The lawmaker expressed concern that less than 750,000 units were said to have been assembled and delivered at the velodrome of the National Stadium, Abuja, which was commissioned by former Vice President, Namadi Sambo.

He noted that there was no beneficiary present at the commissioning nor was anyone later given the stove to achieve its intended purpose.

The mandate of the committee saddled with the investigation will be to find out details of the contract, number of units supplied, their mode of distribution and names of beneficiaries on a State by State basis.

The committees would also determine the status of the balance of N952 million with the contractor, since 750,000 units of the clean stoves were supplied at a unit cost of N464 at the value of N348 million out of the N1.3 billion paid out.

The status of the balance of N3.7 billion which was outstanding from the initial payment to the Federal Ministry of Environment will also be confirmed by the committee.

The committees would also determine whether or not the clean stoves and wonder bags project had assisted in eradicating desertification in Nigeria for future consideration.

So how far with the probe?

They probably found nothing and the matter died a natural death or they found out that the interest holders are still in current govt.

Many of us forget that the current administration is more that 70% manned by people from same past administration

Let us express it mathematically,

Total sum=M

15%of M=5.2b,

100%M=x

X=(100*5.2b)/15

650/15=#43.3Billion


So you mean the 750k stove cost 43.3Billion Naira

Wailing with sense doesn't cost any pain

koboko69:


Bros no be that one dey pain me.
See money dem take buy stove and wooden bags
And some Pigs get mind dey defend this show of shame.

I am really shocked that some Nigerians can actually be trying to defend this kind of insanity. Even from the link that he posted, it was clearly stated that the contractor was only paid N1.3billion while the ministry diverted what was left of the N5billion while lying that the 40% of the contract sum had been paid. Also, his link showed that 200,000 units of stoves were delivered but he's claiming 700,000 delivery. This APC vs PDP thing is just making some people go insane.

Biko read with understanding. The contract was for the procurement of 750000 stoves.

Here is vanguard's own version of events as reported 'as e dey happen' in 2014 and not some APC lawmaker cooked up tales.

So your okpokoro head actually believed that gas stoves can be supplied at the rate of N452 per stove? ?

Buhari let those stoves rot away man, with his go-slow nature.
