The present administration has paid a total sum of N2.7 trillion owed various contractors, of which N47 billion went to road contractors, since coming into office in 2015.
The Minister of State II for Power, Works and Housing, Alhaji Suleiman Zarma, made this known during a stop-over to inspect the reconstruction and asphalt overlay of the 98.414 kms Benin-Ofosu-Ore-Ajibandele-Shagamu Dual Carriageway, Phase IV.
“These monies were paid not for jobs awarded by the present government but government did so believing that the contracts were awarded to benefit Nigerians.”
He said that the Buhari-led administration was resolute in paying contractors for jobs executed.
