DW8, Mr. John Gozen Gobak, a Non-Executive Chairman of the Government owned Agricultural Services, Training and Marketing Limited, described his various roles and positions of appointment through the Defendant’s Tenure till date. Under Cross-examination, Mr. John Gozen Gobak, when questioned about Two of his Personal Companies, he stated that he never operated them, complying with the Code of Conduct, and never did any business with the Plateau State Government. Most of his work whilst serving under the Defendant, did not pertain to issues that involved finance, and he never handled the Funds of Plateau State Government. In describing the Process of Award of Contract for the Ministry, he stated that there is a Ministerial Tenders Board, who considers the Contract and the Amount involved, to determine whether the Contract Sum is within the powers of the Ministry. Where it is found to be above, Recommendations are made initially, to the State’s Tenders Board, and then to the State Executive Council, for Approval. This Council consists of Commissioners and Members of the States Executives. The Council’s Approval will go back to the State’s Tenders Board, who will then publicly advertise for Bids. The Winner of the Bid would then be given the Contract to perform, and the Relevant Ministry, would supervise the performance of the Contract, with the Ministry of Finance, making Payments. He testified that he had never partaken in any of these Processes. Aside of the Ministry of Finance making Payments, an Accounting Officer or Commissioner of Finance may make Payments if guided by the Civil Service Rules and the Directives given. He did not know the Particulars of the Charges the Defendant was facing, and stated that he detests Corruption. When asked whether it was permissible for Revenues to be paid into a Private Account, he stated he had not come across such, but in the event it happens, a Committee will be set up to investigate whether it took place, and if so, the circumstances that led up to it. According to him, he never had any reason to use Public Funds for Private Use. Finally, he stated that he will always be grateful to the Defendant for the Appointments he gave him and Loyalty demands, that he will give him Support. However, he was Loyal to the Defendant to the extent that the Defendant was Loyal to Nigeria. There was no Re-Examination of this Witness. DW9, Honourable Banahel Joseph Andong, the Acting District Head and Traditional Ruler of Monguna District, Jos, was also involved in the passing of the Direct Labour Agency Bill into Law. According to him, the Ministry of Works, Housing and Transport was the Parent Ministry and Supervisor of this Agency and he attended the Commissioning Ceremony of the Earth Equipment, which Plateau State Government bought from Julius Berger Construction Firm. This Equipment was moved to the Direct Labour Agency’s Office. His Committee, supervised the work carried out by the Direct Labour Agency on Several Roads, adding that the Inspections were few and far between, due to Lack of Funds to go round the Projects. He explained that the Memo sent for Approval was only Partially Approved and did not know the Source of Funding of the Equipment purchased. He only heard about the Incident at the House of Assembly, from his friends. Under Cross-Examination, he stated that he and some other Members of the APC Party formed the Plateau State Integrity Group, which had called for the probe of Mr. Jonah Jang, in their bid to free the State from Corruption. This Group, as well as himself, had never spoken against the Defendant. 171
