SHOCKER! Again ,Former Governor Suswam's Name Mentioned In New FRAUD Running Into Millions

-


Facts have emerged that the former Governor of Benue State, Rt. Hon. Dr. Gabriel Torwua Suswam, reconstructed the Atom Kpera lodge at N185 milllion and later sold the property to himself at N4 million.
Information reliably gathered indicated that the Benue state executive council meeting held on Thursday October 2, 2008 approved the award of the contract for the designs, reconstruction and furnishing to M/S METROPOLE DEVELOPMENT LTD at N185,500,502.80

.
The amount was reduced from a quotation from the company which had quoted N221,424,478.30.
The council directed the Ministry of Works, Housing and Transport to enter into a contract agreement with M/S METROPOLE DEVELOPMENT LTD to carry out the job and the Ministry of Finance to release the amount quoted above to the ministry to pay the contractor and this was carried out accordingly.
This was part of the irregularities that characterised the sale of the lodge
According to findings, application for the property was made on June 26, 2007 but  the date of the allocation was May 29, 2007. The payment for the property which was supposed to be made within six months of allocation was not effected until September 27, 2012.
These were clear cases of the manipulation of the due process and non-conformity with the stipulated known terms and agreements of purchase.
In making the revocation the state government duly sent out the letter of revocation to the appropriate addresses of the former governor.
The notice of revocation was also published in The Nation newspaper of November 16, 2015.
Dr Suswam went to court to challenge the revocation but his case was dismissed.
At the moment, there is no subsisting court order restraining the take over of the property.
Indeed, the Honourable Justice Theresa Igoche on an application for a stay of execution in her ruling of 29th April 2016 stated that the application lacked merit and dismissed it accordingly.
The brazen illegality perpetrated in the allocation of the property was characteristic of the impunity of Suswam’s era when government property and funds were abused without restraint forcing the state to its knees.

A new vaccine-based treatment for HIV has succeeded in suppressing the virus in five patients, raising hopes further research could help prevent Aids without the need for daily drugs. Independent of the United Kingdom reported on Friday that researchers combined two innovative HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer in the trial, conducted over three years at the IrsiCaixa Aids Research Institute in Barcelona. After receiving the treatment, the virus was undetectable in five out of 24 participants and its spread was stopped by their immune systems, reported the New Scientist. One of them has been drug-free for seven months. Around 18 million people – half of all those living with HIV around the world – take ART to slow the progression of the infection, according to the UN. But these drugs are expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects. Patients have to remember to take them every day, sometimes over their entire lives. Mitchell Warren, executive dire

  Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, has donated eight brand new Toyota Prado SUVs to the Governor-Elect, Chief Samuel Ortom; his wife; the Deputy Governor-Elect, Benson Abounu, and his wife, as part of measures to ensure peaceful transition arrangement. This presentation was made by the Governor on Thursday at the state house in Makurdi in the face of the heavy criticism his administration has faced for owing salaries of workers for over six months. Student of the state-owned tertiary institutions are reported to be currently out of schools following the strike embarked upon by the lecturers as a result of non-payment of their salaries. This, among others, are believed to number among the reasons why Suswam, who vied for one of the senatorial seats in the state was defeated at the polls with his anointed successor also suffering the same fate at the governorship elections.

Nigeria's imediate past minister of Finance ,Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been indicted by the Nigerian senate over a N1.7t loss in revenue. According to the Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Alleged Misuse, Under-Remittance and Other Fraudulent Activities, revenue agencies short-changed the Federal Government to the tune of N1.7tn as unremitted revenue generated between 2012 and 2016. The panel blamed it on a memo by a former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who allegedly issued the memo to the agencies to remit 25 per cent of revenue they generated to the Federal Government and spend 75 per cent on their expenditures. An interim report by the committee chaired by Senator Olamilekan Adeola, details this. The panel said the amount to be remitted to the Federal Government during the period by 93 agencies it investigated was N21.5tn. It alleged that 25 of the 93 agencies covered defrauded the government of a total of N1,695,585,887,406.
