The Director in charge of the FCT Department of Outdoor Advertisement and Sinage (DOAS), Dr Babagana Adam, has been accused of revenue collection scandal rocking the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) currently.
The Chief Executive Officer of Takushara Nigeria Limited/ADM Media Venture, Comrade Amagbo Donald, who made this accusation while briefing newsmen on Friday in Abuja.
Comrade Amagbo Donald is a consultant engaged by the administration of Abuja Municipal Area Council to assist in revenue collection from signpost within the Area Council.
Donald also accused Dr Babagana Adam of using undesignated account which he is the sole signatory to collect government revenue, adding that DOAS Director was known to be diverting council revenue into personal account for so long now.
He said “The self-acclaimed Director of DOAS is the sole signatory to the account, which is even ill act. DOAS has no law establishing it, Babagana Adam is running a one-man show. EFCC, DSS, Police and ICPC should checkmate the DOAS Director for fraudulent activities in the name of revenue collection”.
Adam’s led – DOAS has no law establishing it, but the Director was discrediting AMAC and deforming professionals empowered by the council’s authorities to regulate and raise revenue through legitimate means”, he explained.
He, however, recalled that the court judgment by justice Muyiwah Idris from FCT High Court had nullified DOAS – FCT as an MDA of government or an agent of AMAC, calling on the FCT Minister Mallam Muhammad Bello Musa to stop DOAS Director from shaddy deals as well respect the several court judgments.
