The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday grilled a former governor of Kwara, Abdulfatah Ahmed, over alleged diversion of the state’s funds.
Moreso, the anti-graft agency’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, in a telephone interview with newsmen confirmed Abdulfatah’s presence at the headquarters of the commission in Abuja.
Meanwhile, a Kwara based civic group advocating for accountability and transparency in governance, Elites Network for Sustainable Development (ENetSuD), has accused the state government of inflating the cost of renovating Government High School, Ilorin by over N40.5 million.
In a letter signed by its coordinator, Lateef Alagbonsi, alerted Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, about its social audit of the project.
The group stated that its re-calculation of the Bill of Quantities, a document detailing the amount spent on each item in a construction project, shows that the accurate contract sum “was supposed to be N321,427,233 as against the N361,957,439 approved by the Ministry of education”.
