The Federal Ministry of Finance has dismissed allegations that it awarded contracts worth N13 billion between February and June 2024 without following due process.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Monday, the Ministry firmly refuted the claims, stating that at no point were any contracts awarded outside the bounds of established legal and regulatory procedures.

The reports had alleged that Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, and the Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Lydia Shehu Jafiya, were involved in irregular contract dealings.

However, the Ministry described the accusations as entirely baseless and misleading.

It clarified that all contracts awarded during the period, including those under the Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas (Pi-CNG), were in full compliance with the Public Procurement Act and other relevant laws.

“The publication in question is not only unfounded but also malicious,” the Ministry said. “It is aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the Minister and the Permanent Secretary, as well as disrupting the critical initiatives currently underway to revamp the economy under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.”

The Ministry stressed that transparency and accountability remain at the core of its operations. It pointed to the ongoing efforts in managing the national economy efficiently as evidence of this commitment.

While acknowledging the essential role of the media in promoting good governance, the Ministry cautioned media organisations to verify their information before publishing. “We will not hesitate to take legal action against any individual or organisation that seeks to damage the Ministry’s reputation through false and malicious publications,” it warned.

It further urged members of the public to disregard the report, reassuring Nigerians of its dedication to advancing economic reforms that will positively impact their lives.

“The Ministry is working diligently to implement the President’s economic vision. Nigerians can rest assured that every decision taken is in their best interest,” the statement concluded.

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has issued an order stopping further development works on the planned multi-million Abuja market project known as the Apo Resettlement Market Scheme.

Justice Yusuf Halilu, in a ruling, ordered the AMAC Investment and Property Development Company Limited, Commercial Properties Ltd, Manillah Integrated Partners Ltd and their agents to halt any further works on the market project located at plot 1729 Cadastral Zone E27, Apo, Abuja.

The interlocutory injunction, Justice Halilu said, is to subsist until the determination of a suit brought against Dr. Shuaibu Omeiza Musari and his company, Techs and Concretes Nigeria Ltd, by AMAC Investment, Commercial Properties and Manillah Integrated.

The ruling delivered on April 15 was on the application filed by Techs and Concretes Nigeria Ltd, with which it sought to preserve the subject of the dispute between parties in the suit, marked: CV/467/2024.

Techs and Concretes Nigeria Ltd stated in a supporting affidavit that a dispute arose between parties when Manillah Integrated Partners allegedly decided to breach an agreement between them to jointly develop the market.

It stated that by the joint venture agreement executed between them, Manillah Integrated Partners was designated as the “developer” while Techs and Concretes Nigeria Ltd was designated as the “financier, co-developer and sole marketer.”

Techs and Concretes stated that contrary to the terms of the agreement between them, Manillah Integrated Partners allegedly went behind to unilaterally commence the development of the market project.

It stated that the suit by Manillah Integrated Partners and others was intended to shield them from being made to comply with the agreement, with the intention of getting away with their breach of the agreement.

In the ruling of April 15, Justice Halilu said: “From what has played out, as contained in the respective affidavits for and against the application for interlocutory injunction, I am fortified to say that there is indeed an agreement which both parties have signed, is the document at the centre of the misunderstanding.

“The second defendant/applicant (Techs and Concretes Ltd) is entitled, in law, to rely on same (the agreement) as the basis for establishing legal interest and has indeed established same as a matter of right, which deserves legal protections.

“I am minded to hold that the balance of convenience hinges heavily in favour of the applicant (Techs and Concretes).

“On the whole, therefore, I have no difficulty granting the application in the overriding interest of justice and fairplay,” the judge said.

On Monday, Dr. Musari, accompanied by some officials of his firm and security personnel, visited the project site to paste the court order and notify workers on the site to cease operations as ordered by the court.

Dr. Musari said as a law-abiding citizen he was not interested in any trouble, but that the right thing should be done, with parties complying with the order of court and waiting for the final determination of the case.
