9ja News: Fashola and the change mantra!

In 2014, the Lagos State Government under Governor Babatunde Fashola SAN spent the sum of N78 million for the upgrade of the website – www.tundefashola.com according to a budget report on the website of the Lagos State Public Procurement Agency.
The contract, according to the contract details, was awarded to Info Access Plus Limited.

Mr fashola is now claiming that he spent less than ten million to upgrade the site. Note that the contract in question is an upgrade not a new one. We all know how much it costs to build a site, for as little as 20, 000 naira you can own a website. Besides, why is the website in his name? Why not something like lagosgovernor.ng Listen to what he said to justify the scam:

''As former Lagos State Governor, I set out to streamline easy access to myself, while in office and to document my activities for the citizens.
From 2008 and up till May 29, 2015, the www.tundefashola.com web site processed thousands of press releases/speeches, more than 6 million pictures, thousands of videos to generate world class, content-rich online information collateral for the former Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN.
The same www.tundefashola.com web site provided great opportunities for the Lagos State Government, as it collated all activities of the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN, and his government during his two terms.

According to Governor Fashola, the Lagos state government spent less than N10m on tundefashola.com and not N78M as claimed by the present Lagos state government.

I cannot help but wonder the change these kind of people can bring to Nigeria. This is just a tip of the ice berg, other over-bloated contracts are pictured below
