Group petitions EFCC over allegations of N418m contract scam against Abdulmumin Jibrin

A group known as the Anti-Corruption Unit of National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has written a petition to EFCC  demanding the investigation of embattled former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin  Jibrin and the Federal Commissioner, National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons(NCFRIM) for 10 contracts worth N418million allegedly awarded to firms with links to  Jibrin in September 2014.

The group in its petition claimed that the contracts were awarded on September 26, 2014 to five companies with three of the firms located in Suite A47 at EFAB Mall, Area 11 in Abuja. It alleged that one of the contracts was given to one Eleku Construction Limited for “the supply of beans and millets to Kano State.”

The petition in part reads  “No specification of some of the contracts, no completion date, no certification. Efforts to trace some of the projects have been unsuccessful. Jibrin was copied in all the letters of the award of the contracts. No other member of the House from Kano State, no Senator from Kano State and the governor of the state was copied. We call for the investigation of the culpability of Jibrin and the Federal Commissioner, National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRIM)”.
