So, they were proceeds of drug crimes, but the valuation process followed the NDLEA Act instead of the Financial Regulations Act. So essentially, those policy proposals were approved by the government.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe addresses of the properties, the first one is a four-bedroom bungalow with two room boys\u2019 quarters at Adeniyi Jones in Ikeja Lagos, and the other one was a five-bedroom duplex with two room boys\u2019 quarters at Amadasun Street, GRA Ikoyi, so they were sold for N5m and N2m respectively in 2001.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cAt that time, the valuation we got was that if they were properly valued, they should have been sold for N18m and N20m respectively.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He noted that the NDLEA Act of the time gave precedence to the directives from the Ministry of Justice and regulations were made according to powers under the Act.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cBut they did not take cognizance of the procurement law and the financial regulations of the time.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cSo, we are now saying, going forward, the financial regulations must take precedence. So, those are all proposals that will come as a new law when the Ministry of Finance finishes with them so that you cannot have different regulations for the disposal of assets that have been forfeited to the government. They must be subject to one superior procedure,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fashola also disclosed that the government approved a policy recommendation to extend the usage life of government assets such as plants, equipment, land, property, and machinery.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He said the new recommendation will ensure proper disposal while saving government expenditure.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe purpose of the policy memorandum was to seek better enforcement of the financial regulations of the government, especially the revised 2009 regulations with regards to valuation process for plants, equipment, land, property and machinery, and also how they are disposed of when they reach the end of life.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThis policy is premised on Executive Order 11 that enthrones maintenance as a conscious government policy. And we think that because of that, government assets should last longer than the life cycle usually prescribed in the existing financial regulations, such as four years and nine years for other classes of machinery.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The federal government has ordered buyers of two underpriced public properties in Lagos to pay the differentials of the real values of the properties as at 2001.
