On
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has warned against project duplication.
Chairman of the commission, Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, gave the warning at a Policy Dialogue on Corruption and Cost of Governance in Nigeria, hosted by the ICPC in Abuja, on Tuesday.
Owasanoye said that thousands of projects were repeated annually in the budget, without diligent scrutiny of need, implementation, or otherwise.
He added that some projects were duplicated as annual zonal intervention projects, otherwise called constituency projects of the legislature, while also featuring as projects of the executive.
