The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has commenced tracking 64 executive and constituency projects valued at approximately N21.6 billion in Sokoto State.
The investigative effort falls under Phase 8 of the ICPC Constituency and Executive Projects Tracking programme, which is currently ongoing in several states across the country.
The team leader, Mr. Aminu Bala, on Monday announced that the team would inspect projects across various sectors, including health, education, water supply, agriculture, special interventions, and electrification.
According to Bala, the team had already identified irregularities in some projects executed in Kalambaina and Gwuiwa in Wamakko Local Government Area, as well as Mabera and Mana in Sokoto South LGA.
He said the projects did not meet contract specifications and require redress.
“However, in all the projects identified, our team had instructed the contractors to immediately return to site and do the needful.
“These projects include a Science Laboratory at the Senior Secondary School, Kalambaina, and water schemes at Gwuiwa, Mabera, and Mana,” he said.
