Governing Council of UNILAG probe what led to the partial collapse of the institution’s seven-story library under construction, has submitted its report.
, Akoka, to probe what led to the partial collapse of the institution’s seven-story library under construction, has submitted its report.
Other members include Boniface Oye-Adeniran of the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology; Ige Bolodeoku, a professor of Law, and the President of the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria, Dipo Ajayi. Mr Bello, as the chairman of the procurement planning committee and the tenders’ board, was according to the board, empowered to oversee the whole process of contract award and ensure that the best result was achieved.
In particular, the panel blamed Mr Akanmu for his failure to conduct post-qualification verification, saying if the verification had been conducted, he, as the head of the procurement unit and coordinator of the project, would have “discovered that DCL was not qualified for the job, and that its low bid was simply a ploy to secure the contract it lacked the requisite capacity to implement.”
“With the choice of DCL, it was imminent that the implementation of the contract would suffer its current fate. It would have been ambitious for any of the foregoing officials to expect a different result. “The tests reveals that the building is safe and construction work can continue after remedial steps are taken, like removal of the debris, backfilling and very close supervision by competent experts.
Mr Bello added that contracts awarded under his tenure were not without the knowledge of the two governing councils he worked with. He also said the two chairmen of the councils- late Gamaliel Onosode and Jerry Gana “are men of high integrity”. He said he was proud working with them.
