Popular Osogbo Philanthropist Decries Award Of Contracts To Non Professionals

Popular Osogbo Civil Engineer and philanthropist, Engr. Kehinde Raji, has expressed his displeasure over the award of road contracts to nonprofessionals in Osun State. 

Raji, in a comment on his Facebook page on Tuesday, maintained that road contracts were not being awarded to professionals in the state. 

Popularly called Aaraj, the philanthropist said the increased FAAC allocation to every state by President Tinubu does not have any positive effect on the people of Osun.

He wrote: “President Tinubu has really tried by increasing the FAAC allocations to every state which is meant to cushion the effects of the subsidy removal, but the reverse is the case in most states of the federation.

“I wonder why sensitive projects like road constructions are not awarded to core professionals with experience and high level of pedigree. When 5th tier contractors are given 1st tier contract rates at the detriment of ‘the mekunus’

“When agriculturist/cyber cafe operators are awarded road contracts without due diligence, or is it the monetisation of some of our ministry officials in exchange for unprofessional conduct by some politicians? It is high time qualified professionals via transparent due process are engaged to give value to tax payers money. 

“I am a major stakeholder by the grace of God in my state and won’t watch things fall apart without due caution. I will advise all concerned to act with the fear of God, power is transient, we shall someday give account of our stewardship. Ask Emefiele and Yahaya Bello, the rest is history, God bless us all.”
