The Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday approved N60.9 billion for a contract to provide engineering infrastructure to Kyami District, Zone C, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The Supervising Minister of Information, Nurudeen Mohammed, disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of the meeting presided over by Vice President Namadi Sambo.
He was accompanied to the briefing by the Ministers of FCT, Bala Mohammed and Environment, Lauriencia Mallam.
Nurudeen said: “Minister of FCT informed the council that this is in line with the statutory responsibility of the FCTA to provide engineering infrastructure to the FCT. This is one of the residential districts located in Phase V of the city with a land area or 942.56 hectares.”
“Council deliberated extensively on the scope of work, contribution of the project to the overall development of the FCT including job creation and noted that all due process requirements were met and approved the award of the contract to Messrs. Mangrovetech Construction and Engineering Nigeria Limited (KaKatar CE Limited) in the sum of N60, 887,492,656.65 with the completion period of 60 months.”
“This government has demonstrated that it is above board in partisan politics. It will be demonstrated equitably to women in this country.”
He also disclosed that a second memo was presented for council’s ratification of Mr. President’s anticipatory approval for the award of contract for the procurement of 750,000 units of clean cook stove and 18,000 wonder bags under the National Clean Cooking Scheme.
The scheme, he said, is an aggressive drive to engender clean cooking culture amongst the poor rural women, to reduce and possibly eliminate cooking with solid fossil which is detrimental to health.
According to him, the scheme is expected to provide 20 million clean stoves over a five year period at the rate of four million stoves per annum which will be distributed free of charge.
