According to the organisation, "Over N39.8m paid, yet no projects on ground in abia communities."
A civic tech organisation, TrackaNG, has raised the alarm over two Nigerian Government-funded projects in Abia State for which contractors allegedly received nearly N40 million in mobilisation payments, despite no evidence of work being carried out months after the funds were disbursed.
In a report released on Wednesday, June 17, TrackaNG said its field investigations uncovered that a total of N39.83 million had been paid to contractors for projects in Osisioma Ngwa and Ugwunagbo local government areas, but that visits to the sites showed no signs of construction activity.
According to the organisation, "Over N39.8m paid, yet no projects on ground in abia communities."
TrackaNG added, "Our tracking activities in Abia State uncovered two FG-funded projects where contractors received a combined N39.8m in mobilisation payments, yet no work had commenced as of today."
