Embarrassing FCT’s Rate of Contract Variations,Unacceptable. Wike

According to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, there has been an embarrassing rash of contract variations in the territory ever since he made public his intention to finish abandoned projects.
While in Bwari on Thursday to inspect the Lower Usuma Dam, Wike questioned the contractor’s report on the Usuma Water system contract, which was awarded as an emergency project in 2017 at a cost of N20 billion and then revised upward to N50 billion in 2020, indicating that another N900m would be required to complete the job despite reaching 90% completion.
“We’re going to do a complete system reset,” he declared. Something like this has never existed in my entire life. FCDA contracts can range from N10 billion to N120 billion, or N50 billion to N200 billion. I refuse to accept this terrifying reality.

While visiting the Gurara road, we experienced some embarrassment that they will not tolerate. While the initial contract sum of N20bn was agreed upon in 2017, it was increased to N50bn in 2020.

“As I speak to you, we have paid almost N50bn; what is outstanding, according to the man in charge, is N900m; and now the N900m will not be enough to complete the job that they have done about 90% of, and thereby we move to another variation. What we will not tolerate is this.

After arriving at the Usuma Water System, I was informed that the contract had been granted under emergency circumstances. We just found out that not all of it has been granted. Since last year’s August, all the contractor has seen is a simple letter of intent.

Since it’s the source of water for our city and its inhabitants, we fully appreciate its significance.

I’ve ordered that it no longer be an emergency because water is crucial. An emergency is something that has occurred since the previous year but is no longer considered to be such. In the event of an emergency, we will begin the bidding process for this project anew under the watchful eye of our procurement experts. This should be cause for concern.According to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, there has been an embarrassing rash of contract variations in the territory ever since he made public his intention to finish abandoned projects.
