A committee set up to probe contracts awarded by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) from 2011 to 2015 has indicted more than 300 companies and prominent citizens including serving and retired officers of the armed forces.
This was contained in a Thursday statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu.
Over N7 Billion has been recovered so far from the indicted companies and individuals.
Another N41 Billion is to be refunded by the indicted companies while further investigation by the EFCC has been ordered to determine whether another N75 Billion should be recovered from some of the companies for unexecuted or partially executed contracts.
The committee further established that one of the indicted companies, Societe D’Equipment International was overpaid to the tune of 7.9 Million Euros and $7.09 Million.
The committee which is different from the committee that is investigating the Defence Arms and Equipment Procurement, discovered that there was a total disregard of salient provisions of the Public Procurement Act in the award of contracts by ONSA.
Several contractors were apparently over paid, while others were given full upfront payments contrary to their contract terms and agreements in force.
There was also evidence of payments to individuals and companies by ONSA without any contractual agreement or evidence of jobs executed. The committee further discovered that somecompanies failed to meet up their tax obligations for contracts
executed.
The Committee succeeded in recovering some of the funds from these individuals and organizations amounting to N3,537,549,223.04; $8,000,000.00 and houses worth N512,000,000.00 from 32 companies. The Committee also established that some individuals and companies received monies without evidence of contractual agreements or jobs done. The amount received by these individuals was N7,104,925,000.00.
In a similar vein, the Committee revealed that some companies that failed to execute contracts or did so partially were to make refunds.
The total amount to be refunded is N19,896,539,125.20; $43,771,433.73 and 2 houses in
Abuja worth N260,000,000.00.
The Committee also revealed that 15 companies were awarded contracts that require further investigation to ascertain the status of their contracts.
The total value of the contracts awarded in this category was N11,726,571,161.00; $202,136,890.00 and €4,114,752.96.
