Minister
of Niger Delta Affairs, Usani Uguru, says that the Federal Government has
uncovered some shady deals by some of the contractors that handled projects in
the Niger Delta region between 2009 and 2015.
He said
while some of the contractors made away with the money paid them without
appearing on the sites of the projects, some others managed to implement 12 per
cent of the projects they were paid for.
Uguru
disclosed this to newsmen at the end of the weekly meeting of the Federal
Executive Council presided over by the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said
the discoveries were contained in a report of an investigation carried out by
the ministry on all contracts awarded and projects carried out by the ministry
from 2009 to 2015.
