MY LOWER USUMA DAM PROJECT VISIT:

We are result oriented and will do things differently

FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike has expressed dissatisfaction with the embarrassing the spate of contract variations in the territory, lamenting that since he made known his intention to complete abandoned projects he has been inundated with talks of contract variations.

Speaking on Thursday when he inspected the Lower Usuma Dam in Bwari,Wike queried why the contractor’s report on the Usuma Water system contract which was awarded as an emergency project in 2017 at the cost of N20 billion, and further revised upward to N50 billion in 2020, would now indicate that yet another N900m would be required to complete the job despite attaining 90 percent completion. 

He said; “We are going to overhaul the entire system. I have never seen a thing like this before in my life. What you see in FCDA contract variation from N10bn to N120bn, from N50bn to N200bn. It is alarming and I am not going to accept it. 

“It was unfortunate that while we went to the Gurara road, it was very embarrassing, and this is not what they are going to take. The job was awarded in 2017 at the cost of N20bn, in 2020 they revised the contract sum to N50bn. 

“As I speak to you, we have paid almost N50bn, what is outstanding from what the man in charge has said is N900m, and now the N900m will not be enough to complete the job that they have done about 90 percent and thereby we move to another variation. This is what we are not going to accept.”

“Now, having come to the Usuma Water System, I was told that the contract had been awarded as an emergency contract. We just heard it now that it has not been awarded fully. Just a mere letter of intent to the contractor since last year August. 

“We know the importance of this, because it supplies water to our people in the city and this environment. 

“Water is very important, so I have directed that it is not an emergency again. If something has happened since last year, you call it an emergency till now, it is no longer an emergency. If at all it was an emergency, we are going to start all over, and we are going to supervise the procurement process and we will allow other companies to bid as far as this project is concerned. So, it is alarming.”

A 10 Point 'Palliative Care' initiative for Tarabans

As the Governor of Taraba State, it is my duty to ensure the welfare of our people remains at the heart of every decision we make. We are all aware that the recent removal of fuel subsidies at the National level has raised concerns about its impact on ordinary citizens; especially the vulnerable members of the society. While this policy may have its merits, it has also brought about economic challenges, and we cannot afford to overlook the plight of those who are most affected.

2. Public Transportation and Food Subsidy

We will partner with local Transport Unions, to subsidize public transport fares for commuters in need. We will also collaborate with local farmers and vendors to ensure food items are affordable through subsidized prices.

3. Skill Development and Job Creation

We will create sustainable opportunities for our people by investing in skill development programs and establishment of Small and Medium scale Enterprises (SMEs). We will promote the digital literacy programs and e-commerce platforms to enable small businesses to reach a broader market and adapt to changing economic conductions.

4. Social Support Networks and Targeted Support Program

We will strengthen existing SSN such as health care services and education, which will be our https://t.co/LlvJV4uVp4 addition, we will engage vulnerable groups such as woman-led households and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). This will include direct financial assistance, food and access to healthcare services.

5. Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Promotion

We will ensure that the Ministry of Energy and Economic Development implements Energy Efficiency Programs and promote the adoption of renewable energy sources such as Solar power in homes and official / business areas.

7. Environmental Conservation and Green Initiatives

We will ensure that the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Implement in conjunction with other related Ministries environmental conservation programs, and eco-friendly practices to foster a sustainable and resilient state.

8. Implementation of minimum wage

We will implement the Federal Government approved minimum wage effective October 2023 to Civil Servants in Taraba State.

9. Partnerships and Resource Mobilization

We will forge partnerships with NGOs, Private Sector Organizations and International Development Agencies to leverage additional resources and partnerships for the initiative.

10 “Operation Clean Taraba and Waste Management”

We will temporarily engage 10,000 stranded Youths and women for a period of 6 months, who will receive a monthly stipend of N15,000.00 (Fifteen Thousand Naira). They will be pace-setters to other residents and work towards achieving the objectives of “Operation Clean Taraba and Waste Management”.
