No regime can beat Jonathan when it comes to corruption. The EFCC headquarters contract was awarded in 2010 by GEJ for a sum of N18.8billion and should have been completed since 2013. N18.8billion for the construction of office complex just for an agency is nothing but criminal.

Worst part and for reasons that we don't know, the project was not completed and the Buhari government just increased the contact sum by N5billion due to foreign exchange fluctuation. By all standards, the project is criminally overpriced.

PapaBrowne:
24 billion?? That's like $80 million.
Hmmm. This country ehn

24 billion will buy 4000 Tractors for Nigerian farmers with combined capacity to till 20,000 hectares of land daily or 3 million hectares yearly.

Each hectare producing food products of about 500,000 Naira average per planting season or 1 million Naira per year.


3 million hectares at 1 million Naira yearly equals 3 Trillion Naira worth of food products produced if common sense existed amongst those boneheads in government. No they rather spend the money on a building for that would house barely 500 workers for an agency that already operates in an existing headquarters. It's a pity.

seunmsg:
Cost of construction is generally overpriced in Nigeria. What sort of headquarters are they building at a total cost of N24billion?

kenonze:
I personally don't have problems with that.
It's not just the building but the equipment needed

rozayx5:

level of corruption in this govt will dwarf that of GEJ

i thought this govt will learn from recession but seems their head is still high

with the teeming population of hungry graduates going to bed daily. they still cant come up with stuff that impact the electorate directly. its always one useless project or the other

Adecks01:

wink2015:
The federal government do not need this EFCC building at the moment. They can use the building that were seized from Dasuki, Deziani, Obanikoro, etc for their official work.

Most of this building are already sited in Abuja, Lagos, Kaduna etc

Government is not short of any building at the moment as there are multiplicity of building that were seized from politicians accused of corruption.
