President Buhari has said that the over N1 trillion spent on
the constituency projects of National Assembly members in the last 10 years has
produced no results.
He said data
collected from Nigerians in rural communities showed that they had not felt the
impact of such projects. President Buhari spoke at the National Summit on
Diminishing Corruption in Public Sector, which opened at the State House
Conference Centre on Tuesday, November 19th in Abuja.
The event was
organised by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
Boss Mustapha, in collaboration with the Independent Corrupt Practices and
other related offences Commission.
“N1tn has been appropriated in the last 10 years for
constituency projects, but the impact can hardly be seen,” he stated.
The President directed the ICPC to go after the contractors
who collected funds for such projects and their collaborators in government.
