The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has initiated Phase 8 of its Constituency and Executive Projects Tracking Exercise in Katsina State, focusing on 39 projects worth a total of N13.5 billion. This exercise entails monitoring projects across the state’s three senatorial districts and federal constituencies, with oversight provided by the ICPC’s Director of Operations, Ludam Samuel. The goal is to ensure transparency and adherence to the specifications set for these projects.

The monitoring effort involves a collaboration between ICPC officers, the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors, and media representatives. This partnership aims to promote accountability and ensure that taxpayers' money is used effectively in carrying out these projects. Ludam Samuel reported a mix of outcomes during inspections, indicating that while some projects meet expectations, others will require contractors to rectify identified deficiencies before completion.

The initiative reflects the ICPC's commitment to overseeing government project expenditures and ensuring that public funds are not mismanaged. By actively tracking these constituency projects, the commission is working toward enhancing public trust in governance and addressing corruption, as it holds contractors accountable for delivering quality work that meets set standards.
