An investigation carried out by civic organisation, Dataphyte, has exposed the corruption and lack of accountability in a multi-million naira teachers' quarters project commissioned by the Ebonyi State government.The funds were released in 2020 but it's since been stalled in the six project locations.
At Amasiri where the project award is a little over twenty million naira as well as at Umunwagwu Comprehensive Junior Secondary School, the projects are non-existent. According to the report, the investigation shows that against legal provisions, inactive companies and companies not listed on the Corporate Affairs Commission were awarded contracts to build the Teachers’ Quarters.
By this provision and the definition of an inactive company, most of the contract beneficiaries that appear on the Ebonyi State Bureau of Public Procurement Open Contracting Portal should have had their bids thrown out and not emerge as contract award recipients. The organisation listed as the one handling the non-existent Umunwagwu School project, Eunipetrose Multipurpose Nigeria Limited, could not be found on the Corporate Affairs Commission Portal, raising questions about how they were listed for a contract. If the company is non-existent, the project is not likely to be executed.
