Why We Approved Contracts Worth Billions 18 Days to Handover - FG
President Muhammadu Buhari

The Federal Government has explained the recent approval of multibillion naira contracts by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

During the FEC meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, the Minister of Transportation, Mu’azu Sambo, and his water resources counterpart, Sulaiman Adamu, clarified that the current regime would continue to carry out its duties until May 28, despite the expiration of the outgoing ministers’ tenure on May 29.

“Ladies and gentlemen, without any intentions of mischief, this government was elected to function from 2019 to precisely 29th of May 2023. Should we now stop functioning one month before the next appointment because we are coming to the end of the tenure?

“This government must work. We expect the next government to also work until the very last day of their tenure.”

Adamu while speaking explained that the contract approval process can take some time. However, he was confident that the incoming government would continue from where President Buhari’s administration stopped.

He said:

“If I may add, there are processes and this processes have started. We’re still operating the 2022 budget, we have agencies. These things are not just done in one day.

“We had lots of submissions to BPP to the ICRC, all the agencies involved in the procurement, and they have to get ready.

“So, anytime they are ready, it is at that point that we have to submit. And like the Minister of Transportation said, we’re still in office technically until the 28th of May. So, we still have to operate; and this is the instruction that we have from Mr. President.

“Since the elections were conducted, that government must continue to function regardless of elections and so on. And so we are just doing our duty as we should serve in the country.

“We do not control the process, but when it is completed and we are still in office, we are duty-bound to bring these memos to Council for approval. Government is a continuum. There are still a lot of memos.

“I can assure you a lot of contracts will not see the light of day in the next one week or two. And for those, we do not have any option but to let the process continue; and then for the next government to come and continue. That is what we face also.

“Some of the very first memos we brought to council in 2015, for me, I had no idea when they started, but I had to be briefed on. This was the way that it had to be and then they were brought in here. So, government is a continuum, and it should be seen as such.

“And I think this administration should be given that full credit because, to a large extent, we have continued since 2015, to implement projects and programmes that we didn’t initiate, that which, in our assessment, were good for the country. We continued them, we didn’t jettison them, and we’re confident that the incoming administration will do the same.”
