In this investigation, Solacebase correspondent Elijah Akoji uncovers how a serving Senator, Barau I. Jibrin, used his company to secure contracts for constituency projects and failed to deliver the projects to specifications. Between 2015 and 2021, records have shown that over N1 billion in constituency projects done in Kano North Senatorial district by different ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) of the federal government were awarded to Sinti Nigeria Limited, a company owned by Senator Barau Jibrin, and his children.

News

Senator Jibrin has been representing the Kano North Senatorial District at the National Assembly since 2015. His position as chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriation made it easy for him to lobby for projects from MDAs to his constituency. However, he also ensured that the projects were awarded to his company, in total disregard for the procurement law.

For instance, the report noted that the buildings were not equipped with computers, internet facilities, printers, photocopiers, fans, and air-conditioning sets as required. There was no proper documentation, especially from NITDA. The Bills of Quantities that should specify the quantities and specifications of items supplied were also unavailable.

As part of the infrastructural development plan, Sokoto RIMA, a River Basin Authority under the Federal Ministry of Water Resource, in August 2019, paid Sinti Nigeria Limited a total of N46 million for the supply of hand pump boreholes in Gidan Kashimi and Godiya communities in Gwarzo.The company also received an additional N25 million for the same project across some selected communities in Gwarzo, Kabo, Shanono, and Bichi.

Other MDAs used by Senator Jibrin to receive government contracts for his company include the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Science and Technology, and the Federal Ministry of Power.When confronted with Solacebase findings, the Director General, National Information Technology Development , Inuwa Abdullahi Kasifu, said constituency projects domiciled in the agency are within the purview of the sponsoring legislator and not the executing agency.

Hello sir

He must have his reasons. After all we have abandoned projects by Contractors that taken advance payment

Before nko, he go award you? The scramble for our national cake continues.

Na todayyy, I beg make them jump 🦘 and pass, All of them are in the same crossbreeding processing even before now. Fact check All senators in the house 🏠 they also collect constituency money in which at the end nothing to show or applaud for, that one title na chop and clean 👄

He can still share the contract, amongst engineers that lives in Kano. It trickles down to helping the masses in the end.

The question is, was the job executed or not?

If it was you…Award it for ur Enemies

What Peter Obi did 👇🏽

Gossipers 🤪🤪🤪
