Ms Bala Usman insists she served NPA without blemish and will fight anyone tarnishing her reputation.
A few weeks back, a friend drew my attention to an upcoming campaign of calumny in the media, allegedly orchestrated by people who think I might be standing in their way of achieving some ambition.
The reports, quoting a statement issued by a supposed Civil Society Organisation , Centre for Leadership Legacy Int’l , then cited me, Hadiza Bala Usman, as an example of ex-public servants “eased out of office following allegations of sleaze, high-handedness, and abuse of office”. Let me start by reminding this CSO and their cowardly sponsors that power and appointments into public office are only granted by Almighty God. They should, therefore, not hope to attain public office on the back of assailing the character of a fellow human being who has done them no wrong.Although the story is already in the public space, to the knowledge of everyone who is after the truth, I should restate the facts to educate mischief makers like this faceless CSO.
It was also not part of the query entitled, “Allegations of infractions arising from the report of the administrative panel of inquiry into the activities of the Nigerian Ports Authority 2016 -2021.”, issued to me by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Transportation, Dr Magdalene Ajani, following the conclusion of the investigation by the Panel on January 28, 2022.
Intels had operated that contract since 1997, and before its expiration in 2020, the NPA had a running battle with the company over its refusal to obey the Federal Government’s directive that all government revenue must be remitted into the Treasury Single Account . When I exited NPA, INTELS had a total of USD$264,932,666.91 of NPA funds with it, which it refused to remit.
