WAMAC Uncovers Alleged Monumental Corruption in Niger State Agric Sector

In Niger State, an indigene of one local government area, who requested not to be identified, reported a missing tractor in his LGA, so, WAMAC’s partner, Prestige FM took it up and conducted an investigation. The team discovered that 72 tractors were missing from 25 local government areas in Niger states. The investigation exposed a contractor who got the N324 million contract to rehabilitate the 72 tractors (N4.5million for each), but the tractors were eventually not returned. This prompted the Niger State House of Assembly ad-hoc committee to investigate the 72 missing tractors belonging to the 25 LGAs.
