.officialEFCC is investigating Mambilla/Sunrise affair, says power minister | TheCable
Sunrise has taken Nigeria to arbitration alleging breach of contract, but the manner of the award of the contract in 2003 has raised eyebrows.the ministry has met with stakeholders and all issues of concern are being resolved.Advertisement“It has something to do with litigation, there is nothing going on as regards moving to site.
“So in essence, it means that there is no project that is on ground like Mambilla. It is all about talks and lips service, that is why we are concerned about the money that is provided for consultancy and the money used for the training of staff that are supposed to be utilised if Mambilla was in place.
Nigerian authorities insist that the contract award was irregular and did not pass through due process while the EFCC has since opened investigations into the conduct of the government officials involved. But Sunrise headed to court when a bid process for the civil works was announced by the government in 2007 and a series litigation has stalled the project.
