A similar issue happened with the roads and drainage at Kpaduma 1 and 3, which she claimed to have facilitated. N100 million was budgeted for the construction in 2023 with project code ZIP20231339, and it has been ongoing since 29 December 2022, when N45 million was released. DUBAWA went to the location and found the roads done halfway. The partial construction doesn’t look recent. Also, the signpost at the entrance to both roads attributed the project to Mr Aduda.
By 14 August 2023, the federal government had commenced disbursing funds for the design of the project’s completion, which cost N8 million . More than N127 million was cumulatively released to complete the road on 20 March 2024, which were proceeds from the ERGP202301239 project code.Constituency projects in Nigeria are proposed by lawmakers and inserted in the budgets of either the federal or state governments.
“If a lawmaker’s tenure ends, the projects may still be executed because the funds may have already been released for those projects by the budget and finance ministry to the responsible departments or agencies,” she explained.
