The Osun State government has responded to fake news about a company handling the Osogbo dualisatiom and flyover project, declaring that “we award contracts to companies that are competent to deliver on specifications with lowest price quotations.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and public enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi on Sunday.
The statement reads:
We have no apologies to award a contract to any company irrespective of its address as long as it complies with bidding specifications in terms of competency to deliver on the job and with lowest price.
We are fixated on engaging the most competent firm based on the bidding process even if the office address is the palace of Timi of Ede.
We are also conscious of the verifiable fact that the owners of such companies are not wholly or partly owned by a member of the Adeleke family.
We assure the people of Osun state that all contracts are awarded within the context of due process as stipulated by the extant procurement laws of the state.
Signed
Oluomo Kolapo Alimi,
Honourable Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment
