Some former ministers have been asked by the legislature to return uned funds from the $470million Lagos and Abuja Closed Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV) contract.

The House of Representatives adhoc committee’s report indicted the ministers who served between 2010 and 2014 in the Ministry of Police Affairs, which handled the project during the Goodluck Jonathan istration.

They are Alhaji Adamu Waziri, Navy Captain Caleb Olubolade (retd) and Alhaji Jelili Adesiyan, as well as a former Permanent Secretary of the defunct ministry, Mr. James Obeigbu.

Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Ahmed Yerima, yesterday presented the report which was was put off till next week for debate.

The report recommends that: “the former ministers and officials of the defunct Ministry of Police Affairs (who served between 2010 and 2014) should be prosecuted over the rationale and motive for the removal and or disappearance of the operational and maintenance costs of the project from its initial proposals, as that singular act contributed to the non-performance of the network;

“Former Permanent Secretary of the defunct ministry Mr. James Obeigbu be prosecuted for deliberately refusing to release N3billion meant for network operations and maintenance; ZTE Nigeria Limited, which was awarded the contract, should refund the discrepancy amount certified after the audit exercise or supply equipment and spares of commensurate value as may be required by the ministry, otherwise, the figure should be deducted from the outstanding debt of US$20,247,172.00 certified by the Ministry of Police Affairs as being owed ZTE for running the network from January to June, 2013;

“Forensic audit of the outstanding debt being owed ZTE for running the system for several months should be conducted and the actual cost be verified and considered at the exchange rate of US dollar at that period (2013). Thus, the equivalent of the cost established after the verification in USD in year 2013, should be calculated and paid to ZTE to save the country the extra cost.

“The Executive should not privatise the National Public Security Communication-System (NPSCS). It should be ceded to the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), which is the statutory body overseeing all security agencies; and
“The Office of the NSA should set up a department that reports directly to the NSA.
It will direct the activities of the NPSCS by utilising the trained engineers on the system from NIGCOMSAT and the Police to maintain the active elements, as well as, training of other security agencies to the operations, and to supervise the activities of Managed Service Providers.”

The CCTV contract was awarded in 2008 for $470 million under the National Public Security Communications System (NPSCS).

Only 40 cameras were working, of the 1000 installed in Abuja. The contractors said they were in the process of re-activating the remaining 960, which they claimed were vandalised.

Gullible Zombies would jump inside this thread and as usual masturbating like dogs.

I said it. Look at them below and above me without anytin to hang on anymore. They started with body language when the odour became so bad they started chasing the past istration and also looking for whom to blame , meanwhile the incompetent minister where not selected till after so many months. The dollar on the other hand was skyrocketing. Then he selected criminals to control the money that was recovered,while were still on that the budget of the change that eventually went down as the most padded budget in the history of the world. Then we entered into recession and the idiots that s this slowpoke in aso rock keeps asking what got us into recession putting the blame on Jonathan

That was completely finished
