Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike has faulted the contract sum variation of Ushafa-Bwari road, describing it as very embarrassing

‘I have never seen a thing like this before in my life. What you see in FCDA contract varies from N10 billiy to N120 billion, from N50 billion to N200 billion. It is alarming and I am not going to accept it,” he said.

While speaking of the Lower Usuma Dam, the minister said he was informed the contract was awarded in August 2022 as an emergency contract, questioning why an emergency contract was yet to be executed more than a year later.“I was told that the Usuma Water System contract has been awarded as an emergency contract. We just heard now that it has not been awarded fully, that it was just a mere letter of intent to the contractor since last August.
