EFCC, ICPC invited to probe federal road projects — Umahi

Minister of Works, David Umahi says the ministry has submitted all ongoing and completed federal road projects to ICPC and EFCC for investigation to ensure transparency and accountability.

Umahi disclosed this while on inspection tour of the Mararaba-Keffi road project on Thursday in Abuja.

He praised President Bola Tinubu noting that transparency under him was unprecedented.

According to him, the agencies have been asked to physically verify the projects across all states and the 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 said.

Umahi, who added that he also sent the same list to the EFCC, however, said he was unsure whether the agency had deployed teams across all states.

He said the ministry remained fully transparent under President Tinubu and that he personally enjoyed the work because he valued diligence, quality delivery, and public satisfaction.

He also described the president as an exceptional leader.
