The claim by the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria, on Monday, that the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) is not among the companies recently blacklisted by the World Bank for fraud, is false.<\/p>\n

Contrary to the embassy\u2019s claims, a World Bank document seen by PREMIUM TIMES confirmed the blacklisting of the China Railway Construction Corporation Limited (CRCC), the parent company of the subsidiaries in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

This not only affected the CCECC, as named by the World Bank, but other CRCC affiliates around the word.<\/p>\n

The Blacklist
\nOn Monday last week, this newspaper carried an exclusive investigative report in which the World Bank named six Chinese firms, including CCECC, among hundreds of companies around the world it blacklisted for various infractions bordering on violations of its fraud and corruption policy in its contracting process.<\/p>\n

The policy is contained in the bank\u2019s Guidelines for the Procurement of Goods, Works, and Non-Consulting Services under International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) Loans and the International Development Association (IDA) Credits & Grants by World Bank Borrowers.<\/p>\n

The World Bank, in the report published on its website named the affected companies as China Railway Construction (International) Nigeria Company Limited (CRCINCL), and China Railway 18th Bureau Nigeria Company Limited (CR18BNCL).<\/p>\n

Others are CCECC Nigeria Lekki FTA Company Limited, CCECC Nigeria Railway Company Limited, CRCC Petroleum & Gas Company Limited, and CCECC Nigeria Company Limited.
\nIn the publication, the World Bank not only made it clear the report was about the Chinese companies in Nigeria, it accompanied each of the listed companies with their registration numbers, and official business addresses in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The publication also indicated the specific procurement guidelines each company was found guilty of violating and the period the blacklisting covered.<\/p>\n

The World Bank gave the Registration No. of the CRCINCL as N1000201600386, with No.34, Amazon Street, Maitama, Abuja, as its business address.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

CR18BNCL, with Registration No. as N1000201800131, has Plot 60, Cadastral Zone B09, Kado District, Abuja, as its official address.<\/p>\n

For CCECC Nigeria Lekki FTA Company Limited, the bank gave its Registration No. as 0241, with business address as Lekki Free Zone, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos.<\/p>\n

Also, CCECC Nigeria Railway Company Limited\u2019s Registration No. was given as 679271, with business address as Plot 215 Cadastral Zone C00, Institute & Research District, Km 10, Airport Road, Abuja.<\/p>\n

Others are CRCC Petroleum & Gas Company Limited, with Registration No 1000201300324, and business address at NO.10A, Usuma Crescent, Maitama A5, Abuja.<\/p>\n

The Registration No of CCECC Nigeria Company Limited was given as 1000201200017, with Plot 215 Cadastral Zone C00, Institute & Research District, Km 10, Airport Road, Abuja as its official address.<\/p>\n

All the companies were accused of violating the provisions of the\u00a0Procurement Guidelines 1.16(a)(ii)<\/a>\u00a0bordering on the bank\u2019s fraud and corruption policy in the procurement process.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"World<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Guideline 1.16 on page 6 of the publication covers the World Bank\u2019s policy requiring \u201cborrowers (including beneficiaries of Bank loans), bidders, suppliers, contractors and their agents (whether declared or not), subcontractors, sub-consultants, service providers or suppliers, and any personnel thereof, (to) observe the highest standard of ethics during the procurement and execution of Bank financed contracts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pursuant to this policy, Guideline 1.16(a)(ii) defines \u201cfraudulent practice\u201d as \u201cany act or omission, including a misrepresentation, that knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain a financial or other benefit or to avoid an obligation.\u201d
\nThe bank further defined \u201cparty\u201d as a public official, while the terms \u201cbenefit\u201d and \u201cobligation\u201d relate to the procurement process or contract execution; and the \u201cact or omission\u201d means \u201can intention to influence the procurement process or contract execution.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

All the six companies were debarred and declared ineligible to be awarded any World Bank-financed contracts for at least nine months, between June 4, 2019 and March 3, 2020.<\/p>\n

Embassy\u2019s rebuttal<\/h5>\n

In its rebuttal through the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria said in Abuja on Monday that CCECC Nigeria Limited was not among the companies blacklisted.<\/p>\n

Apparently, attempting to discredit the report by this newspaper, the embassy claimed it was another company that was blacklisted by the World Bank.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s rebuttal reads in part.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur attention has been drawn to several publications alleging that CCECC Nigeria Limited (CCECC) amongst other companies have been blacklisted by the World Bank.
\n\u201cAs confirmed by the World Bank, it was another construction company, CRCC that was blacklisted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company was blacklisted for violating the World Bank\u2019s Procurement Guidelines during the prequalification and bidding process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe misconduct by the said company borders on submitting wrong information regarding personnel, equipment and experience during the prequalification and bidding process for a highway construction contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis, according to World Bank, and not corruption or fraud as sensationally reported by some media.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Embassy said as part of a \u2018settlement agreement\u2019, the World Bank \u2018debarred\u2019 the mother company, China Railway Construction Corporation Limited.
\nHe said all the company\u2019s controlled affiliates and subsidiaries globally, including CCECC and other companies in Nigeria, were debarred from bidding for the World Bank-financed new projects from June, \u201cfor a period of nine months\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

<\/ins><\/ins><\/ins><\/div>\n

Contrary evidence<\/h5>\n

A closer review of the World Bank\u2019s documents revealed the Chinese Embassy\u2019s claim was untrue.<\/p>\n

A guide to the explanatory notes on the World Bank listing of ineligible\/debarred firms and individuals confirmed all the companies, including CCECC Nigeria Limited were blacklisted for fraud.<\/p>\n

No. 482 of the explanatory notes on pages 70 and 71 said: \u201cThis matter was resolved through a Settlement Agreement.\u201d It explained further: \u201cChina Railway Construction Corporation Limited (CRCC) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, China Railway 23rd Bureau Group Company Limited (CR23) and China Railway Construction Corporation (International) Limited (CRCC International), are debarred for nine months, to be followed by a 24-month period of conditional non-debarment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis period of sanction extends to all affiliates that CRCC, CR23, and\/or CRCC International directly or indirectly control, with the exception of China Railway 20th Bureau Group Company, and its controlled affiliates, which are exempted.\u201d<\/p>\n

World Bank<\/h5>\n

A senior World Bank official familiar with the process said the sanctions imposed on CRCC, by implication, \u201cextends to all its affiliates and subsidiaries around the world it has direct and indirect control, including CCECC and others in Nigeria\u201d.<\/p>\n

The official, who requested that his name should not be revealed as he was not authorised to speak officially on the matter, said the World Bank will not speak any further on the issue beyond the report on its website.<\/p>\n

CRCC was established in November 2007 in Beijing, China and is the parent company of the six subsidiaries in Nigeria on which it wields direct influence and control.<\/p>\n
