Reports say the level of looting
that went on, under the guise of the Rehabilitation of Railway tracks
and the procurement of Coaches and Locomotives, is massive.
Vanguard reports that a source close to the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee, investigating the project, said “Nigerians
would be shocked at the level of massive frauds committed by highly
placed government functionaries when the findings of this committee are
made public.”
According to Vanguard Newspapers, a source said that “former
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF and two former
National Chairmen of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who held very
key positions on the Board of the NRC were said to have been fingered as
having taken decisions that were less than in public interest in the
rehabilitation project.”
Vanguard also
reports that payments were made twice for one project, and contractors
delivered coaches and locomotives, below the specification given to
them.
