Berger loses out of FIFA Goal Project By Orkula Shaagee Correspondent, Abuja   Construction giants, Julius Berger Nigeria PLC has lost out in the bid to build the Nigeria Football Association’s permanent secretariat to be funded by FIFA through its Goal Project. The company lost out due to its failure to meet the deadline set for constructing firms by the consultant for the project, Interprojects Associates to submit their bid for the construction of the NFA secretariat. The Project Manager for the building of the secretariat, Shehu Dikko who disclosed this in Abuja on Friday, says the three firms, Julius Berger, Bouygues and Arab Contractors had requested for an extension of deadline for them to submit their bid, which the consultants turned down. Meanwhile, the three firms that met the deadline for the submission of bids for the contract, Ujat Nigeria Limited, Dori Construction and Engineering Nigeria Limited, and Aron Nigeria Limited will meet in Abuja Tuesday with FIFA and the consultant to negotiate and pick the winner of the bid to build the secretariat. Engineer Habu Gumel who supervised the bidding at the NFA secretariat, says this has become necessary as a result of the failure of any of the three companies to win the bid. He explained that, on Tuesday, the team will negotiate with the construction firms to beat down their cost to meet the target set for intending contractors by the consultant. According to him, the Nigeria Football Association has to get a contractor for the project on Tuesday ahead of the August 11 deadline given to it by the world football governing body, FIFA for the submission of the contractor’s name to its secretariat in Zurich.   At the Friday’s bidding, Ujat submitted a bidding cost of N315m and promised to finish the job in 26 weeks, Dori Construction presented a N285.8m and a 20 weeks completion period, while Aron Nigeria Limited says it would finish the work in 26 weeks at the cost of N215.1m       Copyright� 2002.
