OUR REF: FMF/NG/FTS/016
Date:7/07/2016
From the office of the Minister.
ATTN: FUBD BENEFICIARIES .
RE: OVER DUE CONTRACT/INHERITANCE PAYMENT.
This is to notify the numerous foreign contractors owed by the Federal Government of Nigeria from various
parastatals that going by the Geneva Pact signed by the Government of Nigeria,Federal Ministry Of finance and the
Central Bank as it relates to long overdue payment of foreign contractors on behalf of the Federal Government of
Nigeria.Apparently, investigations carried out by our Ministry has confirmed that most beneficiaries are being
asked to pay certain irrelevant charges by the Apex Bank (Nigeria/ministres) and other Government Financial
Institutions, therefore making it very difficult for contractors to meet such obligations which is contrary to
Section "37" Subsection "C" of the Article XII of Banks and other financial decree of 1995 as amended in 1998.
In view of this, the Governing Board of the Federal Ministry Of Finance has directed the International Bodies to
shift base to Nigeria to scrutinize and oversee an immediate release of such payments that has met the
requirements for effectiveness without any further delay. Any beneficiary certified OK will receive his / her
fund within five (5) working days from the date of the final authentication of his / her contractual date.
It is also interesting to inform beneficiaries that in order to carry out deductions on their bills as regards
Cost of Transfers (COT),Security Deposit (SD) and other taxable charges, beneficiaries will be requested to obtain
the Debit form M104 with the sum of US$200 from our Treasury Department so as to empower the us to carry out such
deduction from the total contract sum before final remittance. Furthermore, certification and unconditional
payment release orders has been vested on Central bank and it involves payment from our statutory foreign
reserves of International Capital Markets (ICM) loan from (IMF) and the World Bank respectively. It is of vital
international financial interest that all payments under this dispensation have been bestowed on the Central Bank
for immediate settlements.On behalf of the Nigerian government, We regrets any inconveniences this delay might
have caused your goodself.You are hereby finally advised to stop all further communications with any agents, group
of people or any Government bodies in respect of your payment.we advice that you contact Dr. Abraham Nwankwo,
Director General, Debt Management Office (DMO) with below informations:
