A group has decried the National Assembly's alleged refusal to probe an award of N75.6bn which it claims breaches the Public Procurement Act
The Coalition of Civil Society Groups on National Interest has decried the alleged refusal by the National Assembly to probe an award of N75.6 billion, which they claim breaches the Public Procurement Act.
The group said, “The award of the contract to Fides Et Ratio Academy and Pole Global Marketing was carried out without recourse to the Bureau of Public Procurement or approval from the Federal Executive Council,” the group alleged. The group argued that allowing TETFund to be reduced to an institution embroiled in contract racketeering and promoting mediocrity due to political interests would be a disservice to future generations.
It added: “In spite of the efforts to kill the matter, it remains alive because that flagrant rape of the Public Procurement Act 2007 at such magnitude is something the media and the Civil Society cannot simply allow to go without sufficient explanation.
