NIGCOMSAT has rejected allegations of irregularities in the procurement of the NIGCOMSAT-2A and NIGCOMSAT-2B satellite programmes, stating the claims are false and misleading. The company made the claim in a statement issued in Abuja, threatening legal action against those responsible for the alleged defamatory statements. NIGCOMSAT said the procurement process was carried out competitively and in adherence to the Public Procurement Act and the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) guidelines.
All bidders were evaluated using standardized criteria encompassing technical capability, financial compliance, delivery capacity, project risk, security measures, and long-term benefits to the Federal Government. Despite the claims, NIGCOMSAT insisted that a bidder's performance in certain areas did not influence the final outcome and that participation in a competitive process does not assure selection.
