Reps Grill NPA Over N5.1b Hqtrs Renovation Contract
Speaking Thursday during the interrogation of the NPA management, led by its Managing Director, Hadiza Bala Usman, the committee chairman, Wole Oke, faulted the award of such a big project with a legal document.
However, the NPA boss insisted that due process was followed having been approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
But the panel countered, stating that only the original copies of the agreement that could exonerate the agency.
Oke held that the photocopies before the committee were not readable, ordering that the audit query be stepped down for NPA to produce the originals.
The AuGF’s query claimed that as of 2013 when the contract ought to have been completed after full mobilisation, there was no valid contractual pact in place.
