The Senate on Thursday mandated its Committee on Water Resources to investigate within two weeks the delay in the completion of Kagara Dam and one million gallons water treatment plant in Niger State despite past budgetary allocations for the project.
He lamented that “the contract suffered so many neglect and abandonments because of lack of substantial fund which necessitated its renegotiation in 2001 at the cost of N2,219,746,244.75”. The legislator, however, noted that if urgent action is not taken, the purpose of taking over the project by the federal government in December 1992 and subsequent budgetary allocations as well as extent of work done would have been a waste.
