In what has become a common practice in the Nigerian political circle, a document has revealed that the Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology, under the Federal Ministry of Transport supervised by Rotimi Amaechi in 2021, awarded a contract to a company owned by a former House of Representatives member, Robinson Uwak who is currently a major stakeholder in the ruling All Progressives Congress.
According to data mined from Open Procurement Portal, the institute, under the stewardship of Bayero Salih Farah as the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer, awarded a contract to Kidibul Nigeria Ltd for the “Training and empowerment of women in Enugu Metropolis”.
Though the budget for the contract was N35, 000,000.00, it was executed with N32, 581.866.25. Why the institute awarded the said project to the company to “Train Women” raises eyebrows because the core role of the institute is “providing professional training for middle cadre managers on the areas of transport and logistics and also conduct research and offer consultancy services to both public and private transport and logistics organizations”.
