Aloy Ifeakandu, the Director of Finance in the ministry, at the investigative hearing, told the committee that he had only complied with official directives from his superiors.<\/p>\n

Kafilat Ogbara, the committee\u2019s chairman, explained that the ministry initiated new contracts that were not captured in the 2023 budget and diverted N1.5 billion funds meant for the old contractors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile owing contractors, the ministry went further to award a new contract in 15 states that were not also captured in the 2023 appropriation. Money for contractors has been diverted, so how do you pay these contractors? \u201d she queried.<\/p>\n
