Alledely uses false companies as fronts

.

While the Nigerian masses continued to suffer from the weight of the transplant, the revelations of corruption by people who have different offices in trust have continued the revelations of corruption in today's edition, writes Dauda Ismail.

Cases of transplant against shame office owner in Nigeria have become practically a standard, so many of every public office owner than one who is not trustworthy. In this regard, there are significant allegations of awarding contracts with large amounts of public funds to “inactive companies” by the Federal Ministry of Work. The newspapers of Aljazirahnigeria were therefore motivated to carry out an examination of these allegations in the context of their role in the elucidation of the public on questions that make the round in our politics.

The investigation resulted in a suspected series of payments by the Federal Ministry of Works, FMW, in 2024. In particular on November 12, 2024, the FMW paid a cumulative sum of 10,910,572.459 78 N (ten billion, nine hundredth MIO, twenty -five years).

This medium also found that 13 of the 25 companies were inactive and have not submitted annual returns in recent years, which was made in this regard, since it also asked a question mark for the integrity and credibility of the process, which is used to select most of these companies for awards.

In addition, an investigation gave a number of procurement transactions with a sneaky procurement business in relation to the FMW, a situation in which funds that were allegedly carried out for contract companies were supposed to find their way to the accounts of companies in the ministry.

For example, Wutara Integrated Services NIG LTD, a company that is said to be with engr. Tongman Amos Adam Who Is Said to Be the Federal Controller of Works in Borno State, is alleged to have 9, 2023, receiven an aggregate of one hundred and Twenty Five Million Naira (N125,000.00.00) in Two Tranches N100,000.00.000.000.00.00 RESPECTIVELY FROM CITYMART Integrated Services LTD and Netscape -Web System (NIG) LTD, Two Companies which the FMW IS Documented that over the years they have paid over 10 billion Naira for several contracts that were supposedly carried out, whereby the funds were allegedly transferred to a UBA account that was transferred from the same employee. Signator in the same account.

When registering for the registration of the company form Tongman Amos Adams with E -Mail [email protected]And Tudun Wada, Ring Road, Jos, Jos-North, Plateau State as a service address appeared as chairman and double as shareholders. All registered as male, with the same date of birth, which confirms that he is the sole owner of a company that is limited according to shares, which is fraudulent in itself.

A letter entitled “Opportunity, a right to reaction to allegations for deliberate violation of the Federal Government's Code of Conduct and the illegal preservation of kickback against public work of December 16, 2024, was on Borno State Controller, Engr. Tongman Amos Adam via DHL with Waybill number 3415169575, shipping on the same day and on December 20 on December 20 was delivered to the same month.

The letter that demanded his answer to the allegations of graft is as follows:
That they are employees of the Federal Ministry of Works that are known from the Federal Government from the Federal Government via a UBA ACCT NO: 1001761774.

You are the owner of Wutara Integrated Services NIG, LTD, a company in which you supposedly maintain the position of a director and have a 100% control over control.

The Wutara Integrated Services Nig! LTD maintains an account at Zenith Bank with ACCT NO: 1221116316, of which you sign.
In several cases, the company has received large funds from companies that have been documented that they have concluded contracts in the Federal Ministry of Work. Some of the companies mentioned are City Mart Integrated System LTD and Net Scape Web System (NIG) Ltd., whereby a sum of 100,000,000.00 and 25,000,000.00 N was taken into account that they have been paid to their account (please note that other companies and the alleged amounts that have been received were deliberately adhered to and can be raised on request).

That the properly received funds could be setbacks made of inflated contracts.

After the letter was unanswered, the newspapers of Aljazirahnigeria then spoke to another letter “Application for clarification of clarification of illegal payments and abuse of procurement procedures with distraction of the funds, from January 24, 2025 to Hon. David Umahi, the honorary Minister of Labor, asked for the following clarification:
Detailed reactions to the allegations of various payments that were made on 13 inactive companies on a single day;
Evidence of procurement procedures and evidence of the annual returns of the companies mentioned; And
Clarification/information about the payments that are supposedly to the attached companies and the reason for a staff of the ministry who operates a functional company and also made one of the companies in question.
Despite the fact that the letter from the office of honorable minister itself was properly preserved on January 27, no answer was only received after this report was completed as in the case of the first letter to Borno State Controller. This is even undertaken as efforts to reach the minister and his media aid turned out to be abortive.

According to a commentator for public affairs, Muste Bulus, “is the main problem that we have today, is the brazen with impunity that is of the opinion that they lie above the law. In most cases, each of these people who are involved with a graft will be open to them that they will have to say nothing. go hand in hand in Nigeria. ” “

Another respondent, Timilehin Babatunde, said: The reason why we have laws and punishment for crimes is to serve as a deterrent for others. However, if you find that people are no longer afraid of the punishment to follow their criminal acts due to the absence or the weakness of punishment, crime and crime become the agenda. Therefore, you can see how much impunity is expressed by our politicians and other public officials, especially because you know that you can get away with your actions. We are in a very precarious situation in our dear country.
