Unreservedly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In the petition submitted by Mr Adebanjo on behalf of Mr Adeboye, the ministry in 2016 and 2019 paid N151 million to Cartil Construction Company as part payment for the road reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p>According to the RCCG, the construction firm claimed the sum as reimbursement for the reconstruction of the road, which the church constructed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rehabilitation of the road was awarded and paid for by Pastor Enoch Adeboye in the sum of N188,440,342, hence the claim by CARTIL Construction Nigeria Limited was illegal and unjust, \u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Mr Fashola clarified the issue of payment to Cartil Construction Nigeria Limited in respect of the road rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>The minister said the contractor CARTIL did not claim any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.republicanng.com\/breaking-obaseki-replies-fg-insists-n60bn-was-printed-to-support-allocation-to-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">money<\/a> between 2016 and 2019 contrary to the claim in the petition.<\/p>\n<p>He said that no payment was made by the current administration with respect to the rehabilitation of the road.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Fashola stated that the contract was awarded to Messrs Cartill Construction Nigeria Limited five years before the Buhari Administration and six years before he was appointed as a Minister of Works and Housing.<\/p>\n<p>He said the then Minister of Works only approved the mandatory 15 per cent mobilisation fee on March 31, 2011, and another payment was made after the work had reached about 26.21 per cent on Dec. 29, 2011.<\/p>\n<p>He said payments were made in 2011 based on the guarantee submitted and the interim statement generated by the company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese payments were all made four years before the Buhari\u2019s administration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThe ministry of works also did not make any payments to CARTIL construction between 2016 and 2019 and we did not certify any work on that road done by CARTIL between the period,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Fashola said the road was not a federal road but a 15 kilometers trunk B road in Osun.<\/p>\n<p>He said the road was one of the constituency projects initiated by a then senator representing the zone in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>He said the contract was awarded on Dec 21, 2010 at a cost of N662 million with an order to commence work on March7, 2011, and to be complete on Nov 7, 2011.<\/p>\n<p>He said the ministry paid 15 per cent mobilisation fee of the contract sum of N99.414 million in line with the procurement act in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>He said the ministry also made another payment of N52 million on Dec 29, 2011 based on an interim statement submitted by the contractor, having mobilised to site.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Fashola said the two payments were made in 2011, contrary to the claim that they were made in 2016 and 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis adminstration did not make this payment, I did not make this payment contrarily to the alligations made by the petitioner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the ministry became unsatisfied with the contractor and issued a warning letter to him in 2014 and 2015 to to terminate the contract.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe payments made to the contractor were made in 2011 in accordance with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act on mobilisation fee not exceeding 15 per cent of the contract sum,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Fashola added that the road in question was not a federal road but the contract was initiated as Parliamentary Constituency Project which was domiciled in the budget of the ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Hence the intervention of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing.<\/p>\n<p>While he thanked the chairperson and other distinguished members of the committee for its impartial and dispassionate consideration of the petition, Mr Fashola said there was no basis for the petition by way of facts or evidence.<\/p>\n<p>While commending the leadership of RCCG for intervening in the rehabilitation of the road, Mr Fashola explained that there were procedures to be followed in intervening on federal and state roads.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking, the Committee Chair, Patrick Akinyelure, commended the minister for his presentation and for correcting the impression that some monies were paid during the Buhari-led administration.<\/p>\n<p>He said the purpose of the public hearing was to clear all grey areas regarding payments that were alleged to be paid by the ministry and not to witch-hunt anybody.<\/p>\n<p>He commended the RCCG for the intervention and for crying out for the perceived wrong doing, but charged them to follow due procedure and guideline in future intervention to avoid a repeat of such occurrence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has tendered an \u201cunreserved\u201d apology to Babatunde Fashola\u2019s Ministry of Works and Housing over a petition by the church accusing the ministry of corruption.
