So, this will be the largest single award of concrete roads ever undertaken by the government of Nigeria in one award.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fashola explained that the award of the contract to Dangote Group was consistent with funding options.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, the award is consistent with our multiple funding options, which includes engagement with the private sector,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecondly, the tax credit initiative was in existence in the last administration before this government but was not utilised. So, this administration has revised it, expanded it, and has used it to construct roads like the Apapa Wharf Road, the Oworonsoki to Apapa, through Oshodi Road, by the same Dangote Group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Obajana-Kabba Road, still the Dangote Group. The Bodo-Bonny bridges and road, which Council approved last week, through the NLNG.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was also interest by many other companies that are being reviewed. So, it\u2019s not unique to Dangote. So, he\u2019s the one who has applied and we\u2019ve been in this process. So, this is the next batch of roads that they are taking up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey invest their money, and then instead of when their taxes come due for payment, they net it off. That\u2019s the circumstance. This is not concessioning, this is tax credit policy, don\u2019t let\u2019s mix them together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe policy says that anybody who wants to invest his personal resources, and it includes individuals, in any infrastructure that the public will have access to, can do so under certain conditions, which includes applying to the Ministry of Works.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ministry evaluates, and the Minister of Finance chairs a tax credit committee because they keep an eye on how much tax giveaway in one year, so that it doesn\u2019t affect government\u2019s revenue performance, once we take on the investment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it\u2019s the committee that then approves and says go ahead, this is good, this is how much tax we\u2019ll allow per year, and if the company is satisfied, then we go to BPP and then come to FEC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The other approval obtained by the works ministry was to revise the total cost of the contract for the construction of Michael Imoudu\/Ganmo\/Afon Junction Road in Ilorin, Kwara State.<\/p>\n<p>Fashola said the government also considered and approved the request to revise the cost of the construction of\u00a0<span style=\"text-transform: initial\">part of Michael Imoudu\/Ganmo\/Afon Junction road in Ilorin, Kwara state by N204,411,926.13, adding that the original contract sum was revised from N1.691 billion to N1.896 billion and the completion period is now 12 months.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The award of a contract to Dangote Industries to construct five roads totalling 274.9 kilometres at N309,917,717,251.35 to be advanced by the company as a tax credit has been approved by the federal executive council (FEC).
