Ireti Kingibe, the senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) criticized office holders for claiming project completions on paper that are not visible in reality.
Kingibe made this disclosure during a Round Table Meeting of the Senate Committee on Water Resources.
She pointed out a case involving 14 projects, including health, road, and fertilizer distribution, which were claimed to be complete but were not.
She took to her official X handle to express her displeasure about the issue.
Her post reads,”At the recent Round Table Meeting of the Senate Committee on Water Resources, I raised the issue of intervention projects supposedly completed within my constituency but kept hidden from my oversight since last year, despite my repeated requests for information.
“As the Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, I firmly believe public officers must be held accountable for their actions. This principle has driven me to demand comprehensive details about the intervention projects reported as completed in the FCT.
“These projects were intended to benefit the people of the FCT; yet, while they appear completed on paper, there is no visible evidence of them. This raises critical questions: Who were the contractors? Who approved and supervised these projects? These are answers I am committed to finding.
“While minor delays or concealed information on one or two projects might be conceivable, it is highly troubling when 14 projects covering essential areas like road construction, perimeter fencing, health care centers, and fertilizer distributionare claimed to be completed without transparency.
“This lack of accountability from the Director General of the Niger Basin Development Authority demands serious scrutiny.
“We must do better. Nigeria deserves a system rooted in transparency and accountability, where leaders are held responsible for their actions and decisions to build a nation for all,” Kingibe added.
