Dear @icpcnigeria, @officialEFCC & @FmstNg
We visited the site of the road project connecting Farin Tanki Muhammadu Mera to the Bye-Pass Road in Argungu, Kebbi North Senatorial District, facilitated by Senator Yahaya A. Abdullahi, and what we found was alarming. Despite โฆ82,168,325.20 already disbursed to the contractor, Bidrite Nigeria Ltd, the project has been abandoned. Apart from a single culvert, the only other visible work is a poorly constructed drainage system that is already showing signs of failure. There is no sign of machinery, workers, or any ongoing activity on site.
This road was meant to transform the lives of residents, providing smoother access to markets, schools, and health facilities. It was designed to enhance economic activity and connectivity in a region long plagued by poor infrastructure. The project, supervised by the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NBRRI) under the Federal Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation, was much more than a line item in the budget; it was a promise of progress to the people of Argungu.
Data from https://t.co/CExUQAH17W shows that โฆ28,796,245.85 was paid to the contractor on March 21, 2023, followed by โฆ53,372,079.35 on May 8, 2023, totalling โฆ82.1 million, which is about 74.37% of the โฆ110.5 million contract sum. These disbursements were made with the expectation that significant portions of the roadwork would be completed, including grading, base laying, drainage, and surfacing. Instead, what residents have received is shoddy drainage work and a site left to deteriorate.
The impact on the community is deeply felt. Traders face increased transportation costs, farmers struggle to get their produce to market, and school children wade through muddy paths during the rainy season. The road, once viewed as a vital development project, has become a symbol of abandonment and broken trust. The frustration in Argungu is growing, as the community watches a much-needed project rot in plain sight.
We call on @ICPC_NG, @officialEFCC, and the supervising agency to investigate this project immediately. The people deserve to know why a road meant to change lives has been left in this state despite heavy financial investment. Argungu deserves better. Public funds must work for the public.

How is your day going? The feedback from the teachers in the day one session inspires us to know that they are really dedicated to making a positive change in their classrooms. Are they empowered to effect these changes though? #TransformingEducationNG#NextGenTeachersBootCamp
Interested to know what happened at the NextGen Teachers Boot Camp? We've got you.

We have shifted the lens to teachers and we are not disappointed. Teachers play a crucial role in delivering a competency-based curriculum. (1)
