The House of Representatives has indicted the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) for breaching laid down rules on the award of a contract to Julius Berger.
The Committee on Works led by Mr. Abubakar Kabir wondered why the BPP issued a no-objection certificate to only Julius Berger to handle construction of 400 kilometres roads, namely the second Niger Bridge, Abuja-Kaduna and Lagos-Ibadan projects.
“The second Niger Bridge likewise started as BPP project, but failed to perform and it was converted to a contract financed by the government and started by Julius Berger. However, Ahmadu explained that communities where the critical projects were sited actually preferred Julius Berger to handle the jobs.
“In fact, at the time this project came, Julius Berger said if they were allowed to do the road, they would ensure maintenance for 30 years and minimum maintenance for a few years thereafter.
