The federal government has broken the monopoly earlier enjoyed by Intels Nigeria Limited on Service Boat Operation Monitoring Agents in the pilotage district
Despite multiple presidential directives by the Buhari administration to the Ministry of Transportation to conclude the procurement process in which Intels participated but was disqualified by the NPA, the process was not concluded before the end of the administration.
Subsequently President Buhari directed the Ministry of Transportation to conclude the ongoing procurement process within 60 days and directed the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice should ensure a quick determination of the cases in Court in view of their economic importance.
But instead of the ministry to implement the presidential directive, it was gathered that the erstwhile Minister of Transportation Mu’azu Jaji Sambo, initiated moves in December 2022 to void the procurement process and restore the expired Contract to Intels with them going through any valid procurement process. The minister, among other things, claimed that the renewal will enable NPA to repay the debt owed to Messrs DEEP Offshore Services Nigeria limited , the parent company of Intels.
