The African Development Bank (AfDB) has moved to punish a Nigerian Company for being entangled in fraudulent practices, handing them a debarment of three years.
The affected company, Maxicare Company Nigeria Limited, a limited liability company registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission, got a 36-month debarment from the AfDB on April 28, 2021, effective February 23.
The AfDB debarment renders Maxicare Company Limited and its affiliates ineligible to participate in Bank Group-financed projects during the debarment period.
According to News Chronicle, the AfDB’s Office of Integrity and Anti-Corruption conducted an investigation, establishing that the Nigerian company engaged in collusive and fraudulent practices during a tender for the construction of weigh stations and supply of equipment under the Transport Facilitation Programme for the Bamenda-Mamfe-Abakaliki-Enugu Road Corridor connecting Cameroon and Nigeria.
