The Federal Executive Council (FEC) Wednesday outlawed award of contracts without complete design and laid out financing plan to ensure there were no more issues of abandoned projects in the country.
This came as the council also approved contracts for the construction of a bridge across Benue River at Oju/Loko-Oweto, and the purchase of anti-smuggling boats for the Nigerian Customs at a combined cost of N36, 388,910,405.94.
The two A30 Sea Princess Boats, which will help the Nigerian Customs combat smuggling and effectively patrol the waterways, was awarded to John Holt at the cost of N270 million while 30 other patrol boats, most of which are said to be unserviceable, would be repaired at the ship yards in the country to increase their sea-going patrols.
The bridge, said to be a major link between the North-central, South-east and South-south, will reduce travel time between Abuja and localities of between three to four hours, was awarded to Reynolds Construction Company (RCC) at the cost of N36,118,910,405.94 with a completion period of 48 months.
