In awarding N3.6 billion contract to own firm, Bauchi governor duplicates purchases
A N3.6 billion contract awarded to Adda Nigeria Limited to supply official vehicles to Bauchi government officials included vehicles already purchased and paid for by the government.
In September, the governor approved the contract for the supply of 105 vehicles for top government officials, legislators and judges. Officials familiar with the deal and documents seen by PREMIUM TIMES indicate that the contract was actually awarded earlier than September. A similar vehicle is also slated for use as “convoy lead car” and one other for use as “Convoy H.E’s guest”.
Chevrolet 2018 vehicles were also ordered for 27 judges in the state, costing tax payers N1.02 billion.Evidence found by PREMIUM TIMES show that prior to the award of the procurement, the state government had bought at least four sets of the same vehicles. In a May 20 contract to the same company, the outgoing administration ordered for new vehicles for use of the incoming governor and his deputy. The vehicles cost N419,055,000.
