The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has invited the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate all ongoing and completed federal road projects to ensure transparency and accountability.
Umahi disclosed this during an inspection tour of the Mararaba-Keffi road project on Thursday in Abuja.
He praised President Bola Tinubu, noting that transparency under him was unprecedented.
The minister said he personally wrote to the anti-corruption agencies and forwarded a comprehensive list of all projects executed by the ministry since President Tinubu assumed office in 2023.
He said the agencies have been asked to physically verify the projects across all states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
“I love challenges. Let me tell the public that I wrote to ICPC and we submitted all the President’s projects in the Ministry of Works from the day he assumed office.
“We asked them to verify these projects nationwide and take a decision.
“This is the first of its kind. I reported this publicly to the President at the Federal Executive Council meeting yesterday, and I am very happy doing it,” he stated.
He also described the president as an exceptional leader.
