How Fayemi awarded N604m contract for furnishing of Governor’s Lodge.....

The newly inaugurated of Governor Ayo
Fayose in Ekiti State has continued to
open up on the extravagant spending of
the past administration of Kayode
Fayemi, this time exposing the letter that
shows that the contract for the
furnishing of the new government
house cost a whooping N604 million.
According to media reports, the contract
was given to Kitwood Nigeria Limited
and was awarded on Wednesday, June
18, 2014, three days before the
governorship election which Fayemi
eventually lost.
Lere Olayinka, one of Governor Fayose’s
aide said the problem was not the
“lavish” spending on the house but the
disregard for due process.
He said: “Instead of the State Ministry of
Works, the contractor was asked to
report at the office of Fayemi’s Chief of
Staff, Yemi Adaramodu to sign
contractual agreement and also obtain
detailed specifications of the items to be
procured.”
