Oyo state: Faceless contractor got N7b road project – Makinde laments

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo has alleged that the last administration in the state awarded a contract to a contractor with untraceable office address to the Moniya-Iseyin road for the sum of N7billion.

The governor who disclosed this after taking a tour of the Moniya-Iseyin road said N2 billion out of the total contract sum was paid to the ‘faceless’ contractor.

“My impression of the work done so far if I will have to evaluate and cost it, it couldn’t have been more than N150 million that I will spend on it. “It was a faceless contractor and we don’t even know where their offices are located. I could have stopped by to go and discuss with them, but there is nowhere to stop by,” Makinde said.

Recall that Legit.ng had reported that Oseni Ibrahim Ola, a resident of Oke Ogun in Oyo state lamented the deplorable conditions of Oyo-Iseyin and Iseyin-Ibadan roads.

The resident argued that despite the fact that Oke-Ogun accommodates one-third of local government in Oyo state, it could not be easily reached from the state capital Ibadan.
