About 74 contractors are jostling for the contract to maintain and provide streetlights in the AMAC area of the Federal Capital Territory
, which includes the city centre.
Before the bid opening exercise, Deputy Director of the FCTA Department of Procurement, Dr Kabir Suleiman, who flagged off the exercise, told the contractors to be orderly. He said the technical bid took place by the procurement law earlier published in March. He also informed that some contractors were disqualified for not meeting the conditions.
Others are Guzape district, Gwarinpa estate 1st to 5th Avenue, Jabi district, Karmo district, Katampe Extension, Life Camp and Yar’Adua Way, Maitama district, ONEX lot 1 and Ring Road 1 and 2. Utako district, Wuse 1 district, and Wuse 2 district were equally captured in the maintenance and provision of streetlights.
One of the stakeholders and residents of Guzape, Mr Kazeem Fashola, questioned the rationale behind giving such a sensitive contract to Port-Harcourt-based firms that are strictly into events management. Specifically, he pointed out that Metropole Courtyard Limited and Camry Construction Limited, which won the bidding did not meet the required prerequisite advertised for the project.
