[Abdul Balarabe @abdul_donjay]

"Contractors were paid 100% upfront in Kauran Namoda, Zurmi, Bakura, Maradun, Bukkuyum, Bungudu, and Gummi before the projects started.

“The released documents reveal how Matawalle authorised the payment of ₦1,966,035,160.00 to BES BELMON Nigeria Limited on the 27th of December 2021 for the fencing, landscaping, furnishing, and external electrification of the Governor's Lodge, which is still under construction

However, it is ironic that some contractors received full payment before the project began, while the majority received over 90%.

[Abdul Balarabe @abdul_donjay]

“It is important to note that the amount of funds allocated and disbursed for the construction of each lodge varied, and different contractors were assigned to execute the projects.

[Abdul Balarabe @abdul_donjay]

“Among such projects initiated by the past government of Bello Matawalle is the construction, fencing, landscaping, furnishing, and external electrification for the Governor’s Lodge in each Local Government Area.

[Abdul Balarabe @abdul_donjay]

We must hold accountable those who award and pay for suspicious contracts and recover what rightfully belongs to the people of Zamfara.

[Abdul Balarabe @abdul_donjay]

The statement read in part: “It is against the public service rules to make full payment for a project that has not yet commenced; there are processes and guidelines which were intentionally not adhered to.

[Abdul Balarabe @abdul_donjay]

According to him, Governor Dauda Lawal’s administration is raising public awareness of Bello Matawalle's financial recklessness, where projects were awarded, and 100% of funds were withdrawn and disbursed for the abandoned projects.

[Abdul Balarabe @abdul_donjay]

In a statement issued in Gusau on Monday, the spokesperson of the Zamfara Governor, Sulaiman Bala Idris, noted that the documents released were evidence from an already opened can of worms exposing a series of violations of public service rules by the previous govt of Matawalle.

[Abdul Balarabe @abdul_donjay]
