“The aim is to ensure satisfactory completion and usage of the projects appropriated,” Gujja said.

 

He explained that the exercise would last for two weeks.

 

“Wherever we observe any discrepancies or infractions in the execution of any project during our tracking we will make a recommendation in our report, which we will compile, and get the contractors to return to the site or we recommend for the recovery of money paid for the contract,” Gujja added.

 

He said the ICPC would seek the assistance of the security agencies for protection to track projects in areas vulnerable to Boko Haram attacks.
