The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has said it spent the whooping sum of N18.9billion on bush clearing, land preparation, others during the COVID-19 lockdown.

The Ministry stated this while being probed by the Public Account Committee of the House of Representatives Committee (PAC) on how it spent the said sum.

An investigation was launched after the agric ministry gave out an N18.9 billion contract for bush clearing, preparing the ground, and restoring soil plant laboratories during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown.

Agric ministry tells The Chairman of the committee, Wole Oke, speaking on the investigation said, “During the lockdown of the country as a result of COVID-19, some companies took contracts worth about N18 billion for bush clearing from the federal ministry of agriculture for land preparation, rehabilitation of soil plant lab and others. We cannot shave their heads in their absence.

We have invited them to come and give us their own side by responding to the issues and show us the places they are supposed to have cleared. They have to take us to the land they cleared.

We have invited the ministry of agriculture, and they have made (a) submission. But some of our members whose constituencies these projects were supposed to be domiciled doubted the existence of these projects, and for (a) fair hearing, we have invited the companies that got the contract for them to come and tell this committee where and when the jobs were executed.”
