OSSAP-SDGS says it is aware of attempt
by some disgruntled element being used within the media space to blackmail the
good name of the office but it remain focus in people oriented programmes.
The office of SSA SDG confirmed that it
reported the matter to the authorities so that the writer can have his day in
court.
The office of the SSA SDG Maintains
that the journalist should provide proof
of the allegation in court where proofs are tendered and checked and not soil
the hard earned reputation of the ministry, it's official and projects, all in
a bid to generate traffic to their website and advertisement revenue for it's
website.
The statement by OSSAP-SDGS is reprinted below
"We take the accusations with the
seriousness they deserve and set the record straight as follows."
"Recently, news circulated on social
media stating that the office awarded N141.1 million to a restaurant in Abuja a
few weeks before the expiration of the Buhari regime. We vehemently reject the
claims. Indeed, the statements are not only misleading but malicious. They
attempt to soil our office's unwavering integrity"
"The information in the publications is
false from the onset. The intentions behind the assertions are malicious
individuals trying to ruin the image of the high office. OSSAP-SDGs has been
transparent in its operations and project implementation processes, including
supporting the construction of the Skills Acquisition Centre and a Block of
Classrooms in Lagos State and many similar projects across the country.
Therefore, the assertion that our project was sponsored by a restaurant is
false and baseless."
"Our projects are done by professionals
in the field of construction and engineering, where such professionals are
contracted competitively, following the set rules and standards. Therefore, the
statement purporting that our project was being done within a restaurant is
malicious and should be ignored completely. Moreover, the project was never
redirected from Ajeromi; it was only relocated for logistical reasons to
facilitate completion in stipulated times. The fact that the facility has been
completed and commissioned confirms efficient and successful service to people.
The statement is also untrue because our procurement department follows every
procurement law."
"Therefore, the allegations are baseless.
We assure the concerned parties that the monies used in the project were
appropriately utilized. We are working tirelessly to achieve more goals and
urge the general public to ignore the allegations and continue working
closely"
