Senate Okays Buhari’s N338bn Local Debt Payment Request by 11Ebiscoo: 9:43pm On Dec 05, 2018 |
The Senate, Wednesday, approved a request by the Executive for the payment of N338.9 billion local debts owed by the Federal Government through a promissory note programme and bond issuance. The figure consists of N102 billion as refund for federal projects executed by Delta and Taraba states; N43.5 billion for debts owed five contractors, and N193 billion as outstanding Export Expansion Grant (EEG) claims by 269 companies. It was reported that Delta’s share of the N102 billion refund is N67.9 billion, while Taraba will get the balance of N34.3 billion. A breakdown of the N43.5 billion contract liabilities shows that Setraco will get N37.4 billion, Bouygues (N4.6 billion), and Simida S and I. International company (N346 million). Hamadala Homes and Agency Ltd will get N346 million, while the balance of N960 million goes to LEJMEJ Nigeria Ltd. The Senate approval followed the submission and presentation of the report of its adhoc committee chaired by Sen. Francis Alimikhena (Edo North) which worked on the executive request. Presenting the report, Alimikhena said the committee was furnished by justifiable details of all claims submitted by representatives of Delta and Taraba states, beneficiaries of the EEG scheme and the contractors. The details, according to him, include the Federal Government’s approval through its Ministry of Works for the highway projects executed by the two states. Others are contract agreements between the state governments and the contractors that handled the projects, and evidence of payments to the contractors. Also received by the committee, Alimikhena added, were certificates of project completion and evidence of part payments made by various MDAs to the five contractors, among others. The senator said after exhaustive deliberations on the submissions and presentations, the committee found that the federal highways constructed by the states were in deplorable conditions before the intervention. He said beneficiaries of the EEG scheme had not been paid since 2007 up to the compilation period in 2016/2017. “The backlog in disbursement of the EEG claims seriously affected the liquidity strength of most of the companies which has resulted in difficulty of loan repayment and meeting employees obligations. “Contractors that appeared before the committee justified their claims by presenting all supporting documents including evidence of part payments received,” he said. The committee, therefore, recommended that the president’s request be granted for the settlement of the debts. Some senators, including Ibrahim Gobir (Sokoto), Emmanuel Bwacha (Taraba) and Barnabas Gemade (Benue), supported the motion for approval of the recommendations. However, Gemade urged the committee to request for evidence of the income earned by the country from the exports claimed to have been promoted by the benefiting companies. “I believe the item on the exports expansion grant should be reconsidered by the committee because we don’t even know how much income a company asking for N7 billion for exports promoted has brought to the nation. “We know there is a huge amount of funds around this EEG, and we should not push things unnecessarily,” he said. But his argument fell on deaf ears as the Deputy President of the Senate, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu, who presided at the sitting, put the recommendations to a voice vote and it was approved. http://mcebiscoo.com/2018/12/05/senate-okays-buharis-n338bn-local-debt-payment-request/ 2 Likes

Pres. Buhari has plunged this nation into an unprecedented debt our great grand children will still be paying years to come. When you hand over the business of a country to a man who has never succeded in anything before, you only get failure and a fall. Any youth who sees Buhari as a mentor may find it hard escaping poverty. Buhari apologists are not having a nice time swallowing this truth. They have been let loose like dogs by their pay masters #RichdadDarts 10 Likes 2 Shares
