In a petition, dated July 28, 2016, submitted to the EFCC, weekend the senator accused Manitoba Hydro International Nigeria Ltd of diversion of funds, economic sabotage, criminal violation and abuse of Public Procurement Act.

The petition was received  by EFCC Head of Media and Public Affairs, Osita Nwajah.

Melaye, through his organisation, Anti-Corruption Network, which he founded to assist in fighting corruption in the country, said his petition against the foreign company was borne out of objectives of the organisation’s desire to ensure that economic and financial crimes in the country were not only duly investigated but also prosecuted.

According to Melaye, investigations carried out by his organisation uncovered several economic and financial crimes committed by Manitoba Hydro International Nigeria Ltd and also violations of the Public Procurement Act, 2007, maladministration in governance and outright disregard of best practices in the TCN by the company.

He accused Manitoba of fraudulently diverting funds in 2015, meant for trace maintenance. He also accused the company of involvement in splitting of contract to avoid the TCN Tenders Board and Ministerial Tenders Board ‘“as observed in the contract of repairs of telecommunications equipment and power stations:330kv substations   (S1 and and S2) which amounts to N247,061,796 and N248,859,350.00 respectively.”

“The award of contract verbatim at the cost of N893,000,000.00 for the repair of telecommunications equipment and remote terminal units associated with PHCN (legacy)   power stations and TCN 330kv substations to various sums which were paid for, but never executed.

‘“Failure by the company to ensure probity, accountability and transparency in the management of TCN, as no audit has been conducted on the accounts of TCN since assumption of management by the company.

‘’This is in contravention of the terms of contract signed between the company and the Bureau of Public Enterprise and this has no doubt led to many irregularities in the market operations sector, “he said. Melaye called on the EFCC to advise the government to debar Manitoba for the several contraventions of provisions of the Public Procurement Act, 2007, while acting as managers of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
