The Nation Newspaper Reps seek suspension of using cement concrete for road projects
yesterday urged the Federal Ministry of Works to suspend the wholesome adoption of cement concrete for road construction in the country, pending the outcome of its investigation on the matter.
This followed a motion by Khadija Abba Ibrahim who raised concern over the minister’s statement that the ministry was considering adoption of concrete technology for road construction. The House also said it would investigate mining and quarry licences issued by the government in the last 15 years as well as reports from Federal Mine Officers across the states.
According to him, the President has delegated the powers to the Federal Ministry of Finance, while the Federal Ministry of Finance initiated a process of engaging pre-shipment inspectors and monitoring agents. The abuses, he said, were designed, pushed, and implemented by officials in the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria , the Public Procurement Act, while other procurement guidelines were ignored and key provisions on conflict of interest were violated.
