FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
NATIONAL HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY
FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY - ABUJA
SENATE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN CONTRACT PAYMENT
Attention:
RE: Payment of your contract fund.
The incessant complaints of Nigeria's foreign contractors have reached and
attracted the attention of Nigeria's House of Senate . Such complaints have
ranged from undue extortion of monies from our foreign contractors, illegal
transfers, to diversion of contractor's monies to bank accounts other than
those nominated by the contractors. We are aware that these practices have
existed over a long period of time but worsened during the past inept
military regimes and lingered on until the present regime as there still
exist such elements in our parastatals, ministries and financial houses.
Such occurrences have remained painful sore points in the image of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria and utter contracdition of our efforts in
laundering the international image of our dear country.
Consequent upon these and after exhaustive consultations with the president,
Olusegun Obasanjo, the following ministries/parastatal, agencies and office,
which have been hitherto involved in the above mentioned malpractices have
been prohibited, forthwith, from carry out the function of vetting approvals
and payment of contract claims or any other duties relating to the
setTlement of our foreign debts.
They include:
1. Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) 2. Federal Ministry of Finance 3. Office of
the Accountant-General 4. Presidency 5. International Remittance Dept. 6.
Officer of the Governor, CBN 7. All Task Forces 8. Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) 9. Justice Ministry 10. Debt Reconciliation
Ministry 11. National Insurance Corporation of Nigeria (NICON) 12. Nigeria
Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) 13. Office of the Deputy Governor
(CBN).14 Commercial Bank (Inheritance Claims)
You are therefore advised to stop all dealings and communication with the
aforementioned offices. In their stead the Senate Committee on Foreign
Contract Payment has been inaugurated and given the sole authority to vet,
approve and pay all outstanding contract debts with all necessary despatch .
While we apologies on behalf of the Federal Government for all the undue
delays and inconveniences, you are advised to acknowledge this letter
reconfirming your bank particulars and contract details to this office
immediately to avoid mistakes when remitting your fund.
The earlier you respond to this message, the earlier action will be on your
contract file and the better for us.
Best regards,
Signed
SENATOR OLU BAJUWA.
CHAIRMAN SENATE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN CONTRACT PAYMENT
