FRAUD: How Senator Ngige Deploy His Cronies, Handle Procurement Department,Supply Of Furnitures, Equipment And Laptops At Cut Throat Prices.

 
As Laptops Of 100,000 Was Supplied At 500,000 To NSITF Staffs
Since the appointment of Chief Senator Chris Ngige as substantive Minister of Labour and Productivity in the last five years and after his reappointment into the same Ministry,the procurement department became an extension of the parent Ministry,ably supervised by Chris Ngige, through his cronies,stooges and associates as well as fronts who became emergency contractors and suppliers of items, furnitures, equipments and electronic at highly exorbitant contract sums and rates, NSITF source reveals to OBSERVERS TIMES. 
Chief Chris Ngige started by embarking on purchase of furnitures for all the NSITF offices in the country, as furniture that goes for 50,000 was given out at supply rate of 250,00,while others been sold ordinarily for 250,000 goes for 1 Million Naira.
All his through his first term between 2015-2019,The Minister took over completely the supply chains of the NSITF, that ordinarily the Board and the Management ratifies such needs to move the day to day running affairs of the organisation.
Billions of Naira was approved for such purchase expressly at any given time,as monies was also approve and contractors paid before the supply of items to all NSITF offices Nationwide.
So critical that office curtains for all the offices Nationwide was supplied by the Minister’s chronies and fronts, who subsequently revert to his instructions soon after payment.
Chief Ngige’s meddlesomeness and capital flight interms funds, cash from NSITF is worse than the times of Olojeme,that resulted in the open stealing of funds from the agency.
For instance, with high work force spread all around the country,the standing policy in NSITF,is that officers on level 10 and above are entitled to working tools like laptop and others,the Minister having taken over the supply chain procured lower quality laptops that ordinarily will cost 100,000 at a cut throat price of 500,000 to all workers across the Agency.
In a situation he allows Management to embark on any given responsibility,his already made kickbacks will be on the table without negotiations,to the detriment of the day to day running of the Agency.
In the first recruitment carried out in the Agency sometimes in 2017,Ngige singlehandedly brought over 600 staffs on officers cadre from Assistant Managers to all other higher levels solely on his list,with a disguise from the Presidency.
Subsequent recruitment was also hijacked to the advantage of only indigenes of the eastern States particualrly from Anambara State.
With a discipline and well trained Manangeent team, led by the Managing Director who is of high proven integrity,Chief Ngige as the Minister was not comfortable working with him and his team, owing to their transparency stance and accountability.
The best thing that will happen to NSITF is to either redeploy the Minister Chris Ngige or remove him as cabinet Minister to guarantee easy and seamless Management of NSITF, by the suspended team through their re-instatement.
 
Attempt to reach Minister aides on this allegation proves abortive.
