USA Africa Dialogue Series - STAR INFORMATION: Nigeria's Federal Executive Council Contracts Approved for 2014



My People:

According to recent news reports, Nigeria's Federal Executive (chaired by President GEJ or his designee) met at least twenty-one (21) times in 2014, during which at least fifty-one (51) contracts or allocations totaling at least N1.384 trillion were awarded (see Table 1 below).

Rather than see these 51 projects in terms of regional advantage, ie whether they benefited the South-South more than North-East, or South-West rather than North-West, they are best described in terms  of Common Benefit to users from ALL parts of Nigeria:   Road Projects (22 projects), Electricity Projects (6 projects), Financial Instrument awards (5 projects),  Engineering Infrastructure for Abuja (3 projects), Staff Training Projects (3 Projects), Water Project (2 Projects), Marine Projects (2 projects) and All Other projects (8 projects.)  The most - em - eye-catching "Other Project" is for N9.2 billion, awarded on November 26, 2014  for  "Purchase of cooking stoves and wonder bags for women".

That is a lot of cooking stoves and wonder bags, for a lot of our women....and their associated men, no doubt.

There are also more important points:

  (1)  if the contracts have been awarded, whether they have been cash-backed;
  (2)  if cash-backed, whether they have commenced, 
  (3)  if they have commenced, what is their present status.

And there you have it.

NEPOTISM: South South Gulped 40% of 2014 FEC Contracts



2015-01-01 08:43:14

It has emerged that a very large chunk of the federal government's N1.6 trillion 2014 capital votes have gone to the South-South, geopolitical region of Nigeria.

The region where President Goodluck Jonathan hails from gulped a whooping N639.306 billion, nearly half of the total N1.6 trillion in the execution of projects in the region.

This amount spent in President Goodluck Jonathan's geo-political zone far surpasses the total amount spent in the remaining five geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

The figures are based on the analysis of contracts awarded during the year by the Federal Executive Council (FEC), at its weekly meetings chaired by President Goodluck Jonathan.

Zone-by-zone data analysis of federal projects are South-South: N639.306 billion; South-West: N256 billion; FCT:N193 billion; South-East: N111.3 billion; North-Central:N101 billion; North-West: N62.151 billion and North-East: N23.767 billion.

The total amount shared among the zones as shown in the above analysis is N1.387 trillion.

Thus, remaining N262 billion which was spent on other projects not allocated geopolitically.

The N262 billion was distributed as follows:

N240m approved for 44 SURE-P jeeps;

$300m (N55.5bn) diaspora bond; N80bn global depository notes; $82m (N15.2bn) loan for polio eradication in the country; N1.1bn for two locomotives for new standard gauge rail line across

the country; $495m (N91.57bn) for irrigation management in the country and N9.287 billion for the purchase of cooking stoves and wonder bags for rural women across the country.

Dailytrust reports that the South-South zone also got billions as derivation fund, which is 13% of oil revenues accruing to the Federation Account.

Similarly, billions of naira was provided for the region through budgetary allocations to the Niger Delta Ministry and the Niger Delta Development Commission.

The National Assembly on April 9 passed the 2014 budget totalling N4.695trn, an amount which is N52.2bn higher than the N4.642trn submitted by President Jonathan.
