Buhari Orders Probe Of N1tr Constituency Projects by BuhariCarryGo: 4:38pm On Nov 20, 2019 |
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday ordered the probe of those who failed to judiciously spend the over N1 trillion voted for such projects in the last 10 years. He gave his backing to the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC)’s plan to go after the contractors. “The funds didn’t produce expected results”, he said at the opening of the National Summit on Diminishing Corruption in Public Sector, at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja. The event was organised by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, in collaboration with ICPC. According to him, the data collected from Nigerians in rural communities showed that they had not felt the impact of such projects. Besides directing the anti-graft agency to go after the contractors, who collected funds for such projects and their collaborators in government, the President also urged the National Assembly to fast-track the passage of the Special Crimes Court Bill. The President added: ‘‘It is on record that in the past 10 years One trillion naira (N1 trillion) has been appropriated for constituency projects, yet the impact of such huge spending on the lives and welfare of ordinary Nigerians can hardly be seen. ‘‘The first phase report of tracking these projects by ICPC confirms our worst fears that people at the grassroots have not benefited in terms commensurate with the huge sums appropriated for constituency projects since inception. ‘‘I am, therefore, delighted that through the effort of ICPC, some contractors are returning to site to execute projects hitherto abandoned and that project sponsors are being held to account. ‘‘The ICPC has my full support and the support of this government to hold fully to account contractors, complicit public servants and project sponsors who divert funds meant for constituencies, or other people oriented welfare projects of our government, or who by other means, reduce the quality and value of such projects meant for our people.’’ Urging the National Assembly to expedite action on the pending Special Crimes Court Bill, the President also called on the judiciary to embrace and support the creation of the specialised court. He said: “The fight against corruption is of course not only for government and anti-corruption agencies alone. All arms and tiers of government must develop and implement the anti-corruption measures.https://thenationonlineng.net/buhari-orders-probe-of-n1tr-constituency-projects/?

God bless Mr BuBu Lawmakers are screening budgets of the FG, yet no one screens their constituency projects monies nominated. Constituency project was a design of PDP era to make money available for the corrupt crooks in NA, it's time to reform most of our institutions. WAILERS if you don't like the truth from Baba go and jump into the lagoon! 1 Like 1 Share |

These are the people creating the unbearable hardship in Nigeria so a bill to hang them by the neck should come up in the senate. Frustration has led to many suicide cases which was avoidable if they had done what they collected money to do. 1 Like |

The presidency should be scrapped aswel & let's just try out a regional system of government. Bihari is doing virtually nothing as a head of state & collecting free salary as minister of petroleum when he has nothing doing in that ministry. |
