We are set to investigate abandoned projects –EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crime Commission has said, it has set
up a team to commence the investigation of abandoned government
projects across the country.

Acting EFCC Chairman, Alhaji Ibrahim Magu, stated this in an
interview with newsmen in Gombe on Monday.

He said this would help the anti-graft agency to know the level
of completion of the projects, as well as the funds spent on
them.

“The move is to ensure that the contractors complete the
projects for the benefit of the people and the development of the
country,’’ he said.

Magu said the agency was ready to fight corruption, but with the
support of all stakeholders in the country.

The EFCC boss, therefore, called on Nigerians to identify such
projects in their respective areas and report to the commission,
for necessary action.

“If there is an abandoned project, we will go after them because
most people collect money and they don’t execute the contract,” he
said.

According to him, some contracts were awarded without the
intention to execute them.
