Abuja — Following a hard battle and tough negotiations that lasted till Monday night, the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) finally sent a letter to the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) tuesday morning ratifying the Manitoba Hydro International management contract to run the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) for three years.
With the ratification given by the BPP, the BPE was said to have promptly sent a memo to the presidency for the contract's final approval.
But THISDAY learnt that despite President Goodluck Jonathan's directive last Thursday that the Manitoba contract be brought to him yesterday for validation before he left the country for Pakistan last night, officials in the Ministry of Power and BPP over the weekend and on Monday still made a last ditch attempt to frustrate the contract.
