How Nigerian Ex-Finance Minister, Zainab Ahmed Secretly Engaged, Paid Private Consultants For Questionable Gas DealThe former minister of finance argued that Nigeria convert the MUG to liquefied natural gas and export it in order to generate cash for the federation.
A gas supply agreement , a bilateral transaction between a GenCo and a gas provider, specifies provisions for a clause review. “Accugas and NDPHC were already discussing the extension of the sunset date for the utilisation of the MUG without the involvement of any consultant or adviser. Both parties subsequently executed an addendum to the GSA that provides for the MUG to be utilised within seven years,” an official of the ministry of finance said.
This is required because the buyer has already paid for the gas. A third party is typically not required to be involved. Indeed, because the GSA is a bilateral arrangement, it will lose its bipartisan status if third and fourth parties become involved. However, the NDPHC, which controls the National Integrated Power Projects , which include ten GenCos, did not protest, purportedly because it did not want to offend ministry employees who process the payment of gas invoices every month.
“Ahmad Zakari & Co’s agreement is of no effect, but money is being paid to the firm for doing nothing,” an official of the ministry of finance, who declined to be named for fear of victimisation, said.
