The Federal Government, on Wednesday, in Abuja, approved an e-Customs modernisation project worth at least N142.24bn amid reports of an existing court order restraining it from proceeding with the project.
The Minister of State, Budget and National Planning, Clem Agba, who said he was unaware of any court order on the project, disclosed this to State House correspondents shortly after this week’s Federal Executive Council meeting, presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He also revealed that the concessionaire will take 45 per cent of all that accrues to the comprehensive input service scheme while 55 per cent goes to the FG. They asked the FEC to suspend or discountenance any request to initiate deliberations or a fresh request for approval for the award of the said contract to any other bidder asides from the original approval earlier granted to Messrs e-Customs Project Limited.
