BREAKING: Senate wants SGF prosecuted over North East contracts fraud

Some senators on Wednesday demanded the prosecution of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal.

Lawal allegedly owns one of the companies awarded contracts in the rehabilitation of the North-East.

It was gathered that Lawal resigned from the directorship of the company in September 2016 but was still a signatory to the account.

Senator Dino Melaye while reading the report of the Ad hoc committee on Mounting Humanitarian Services in the NorthEast said the “company was awarded a consultancy contract on invasive plant species in Yobe State”.

“The company owned by SGF Babachir Lawal to which he resigned as a director in Sept. 2016 but still a signatory to the company’s account”.

Melaye said the SGF action was an embarrassment to the anti-corruption stance of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.

He recommended the resignation and prosecution of Lawal.

Senator Solomon Adeola also agreed with Dino Melaye, stating that “the actions of the FG in recent times is nothing to write home about.”
