FG: N1bn solar street lights project in Adamawa fully executed

The federal government says it has fully executed the N1 billion contracts for the installation of solar street lights in Adamawa.

The office of the senior special assistant to the president on sustainable development goals (OSSAP-SDGs) said this in reaction to reports that the project was not completed.

In a statement on Saturday, Rotimi Ajayi, head of communications unit, OSSAP-SDGs, said the contracts were executed in line with the terms of the awards.

“The attention of the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals, OSSAP-SDGs has been drawn to a story published by an online platform and regurgitated word for word without independent verification of the facts contained therein by some other online publications on the alleged award of N1billion contracts for the installation of solar street lights in Adamawa State,” the statement reads. 

“OSSAP-SDGs, hereby, categorically denied insinuations that the contracts were not carried out as stated in the terms of the award.

“For the avoidance of doubts, OSSAP-SDGs wishes to state emphatically that the contract was fully and duly executed with strict adherence to due process and for the benefit of the good people of Adamawa.”
