Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to terminate the boats pilotage monitoring and supervision agreement that the agency has with Intels Nigeria Limited, a company co-owned by former vice president Atiku Abubakar.<\/div>\n<div id=\"m_-2536072025714502376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507736913583_20171\">\n<div id=\"m_-2536072025714502376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507736913583_21930\"><\/div>\n<div

to the Managing Director of the NPA, Ms. Hadiza Bala-Usman, said that the agreement, which has allowed Intels to receive revenue on behalf of NPA for 17 years, violates the Nigerian Constitution, especially in view of the implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) policy of government.<\/div>\n<div id=\"m_-2536072025714502376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507736913583_21933\"><\/div>\n<div

stated that the agreement violates Sections 80(1) and 162(1) and (10) of the constitution, and wondered that the parties \u2013 NPA and Intels \u2013 did not avert their minds to the relevant provisions when they were negotiating the agreement in 2010.<\/div>\n<div id=\"m_-2536072025714502376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507736913583_21937\"><\/div>\n<div

which shall be paid all revenues collected by the Government of the Federation, except the proceeds from the personal income tax of the personnel of the armed forces of the Federation, the Nigeria

Clarification of Conflict Between Executed Agreement and Federal Government Treasury Single Account Policy,\u201d the attorney general said: \u201cI refer to your letter dated 31st May 2017, ref: MD\/17\/MF\/Vol.XX\/583 in respect of the above subject matter wherein you sought clarification on the legal issues implicated by the continuous implementation of the Managing Agent Contract Agreement dated 11th February 2010 executed between the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and Intels Nigeria Limited for the provision of boats pilotage operations, in the light of the Federal Government of Nigeria\u2019s Treasury Singe Account (TSA) policy.<\/div>\n<div id=\"m_-2536072025714502376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507736913583_21941\"><\/div>\n<div

terms of the agreement as agreed by parties and the dynamics of its implementation which permits Intels to receive revenue generated on behalf of NPA ab initio, clearly violates express provisions of Sections 80(1) and 162(1) and (10) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended). It is thus curious that parties did not avert their minds to the above provisions of the constitution whilst negotiating the agreement.<\/div>\n<div id=\"m_-2536072025714502376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507736913583_21942\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_-2536072025714502376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507736913583_21942\">\u201cThe inherent illegality of the agreement as formed has since been expounded by the TSA policy issued by the Head of Service of the Federation on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria directing all ministries, departments and agencies to collect payment of all revenues due to the federal government or any of her agencies through the TSA.<\/div>\n<div id=\"m_-2536072025714502376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507736913583_21943\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_-2536072025714502376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507736913583_21943\">\u201cThe objective of the presidential directive (TSA policy) in exercise of the executive powers of the president under Section 5 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) was in furtherance of the spirit and intent of Sections 80 and 162 of the constitution and to aid transparency in government revenue collection and management.<\/div>\n<div id=\"m_-2536072025714502376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507736913583_21944\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_-2536072025714502376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507736913583_21944\">\u201cNPA being an agency of the federal government is bound by the TSA policy and has not howsoever been exempt therefrom.
