CSOs petition EFCC on alleged corrupt practices by foreign contractors
Connected Development (CODE) in collaboration with the Nigerian Young Professionals Forum (NYPF) on Tuesday submitted a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on alleged corrupt practices by some foreign contractors.
Chief Executive, CODE, Mr Hamzat Lawal, and Chairman, NYPF, Mr Moses Siasia, in Abuja on Tuesday, jointly signed and submitted the petition.
They are requesting for presidential inquisition into the engineering, procurement and construction of the Total Egina Floating Production Storage Offloading (EFPSO), to EFCC.
The petition was requesting the EFCC to investigate the alleged corrupt practices by Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI), the contractor involved in the matter.
The CSOs had recently expressed worry over the preference of foreign companies to local ones in the awards of contract, especially in the oil and gas sector.
