Jun 4, 2020
Godswill Akpabio, Minister of Niger Delta affairs, got a N300 million contract  for the fencing of Federal Polytechnic Ukana, Akwa Ibom, (N200 million), and Federal Government College, Ikot Ekpene (N100 million), according to the senate committee on Niger Delta.
According to Peter Nwaoboshi, chairman of the committee, Akpabio got the contracts from the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC.
In a letter in 2017 when Akpabio was the senator representing Akwa Ibom north-west, he requested a N500 million contract from the NDDC.
Aside the N300 million for fencing, N150 million was for entrepreneurship training on the use of modern farming implements for youths and women of Akwa Ibom north-west senatorial district.
Another N50 million was for the renovation of a hostel at University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu state.
All the projects were requested to be put into the NDDC budget at the time, according to Nwaoboshi.
Nwaobosho told journalists on Wednesday that the contracts were fully paid for but there was nothing to show for it.
