ICPC Assistant Commissioner Wale David revealed this during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday in Lokoja, saying the exercise is designed to ensure projects are executed to specification and actually deliver value to local communities.
David warned that contractors behind uncompleted or substandard projects would face serious consequences. “The ICPC will recover funds for uncompleted projects and investigate cases of sub-standard work. Contractors will be required to upgrade projects that don’t meet standards,” he said.
The monitoring sweep covers a broad range of sectors including power, water supply, roads, housing, and empowerment programmes. The team will verify both project quality and the authenticity of programme beneficiaries — a task David acknowledged would be more challenging on the empowerment side, though he assured the commission would be thorough.
