Umahi invites EFCC, ICPC to probe ministry projects for transparency

 

The Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, has invited the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate all contracts and ongoing projects under the ministry to ensure transparency.


Speaking at a media briefing at the ministry’s Abuja headquarters on Wednesday, Umahi said relevant procurement rules were strictly followed from tendering to project execution and that the ministry has nothing to hide.


He explained that the ICPC’s preliminary report is ready, while the EFCC’s findings are awaited following its ongoing work summit.


“We are not hiding anything because we feel for the people. Any file they want, any information, is available. That is how it should be,” Umahi said. “There is nothing we do in the Ministry of Works that we cannot defend. We moved from asphalt to concrete to ensure roads last up to 100 years with minimal maintenance.”


The minister urged journalists to verify information before reporting, noting that roads cut or incomplete impede movement and affect citizens’ daily lives.


Umahi also praised President Bola Tinubu for prioritizing infrastructure and reaffirmed that all ministry projects follow due process and can withstand scrutiny at any time.
