Share on WhatsAppShare on FacebookShare on XTelegram

An uneasy calm has engulfed Edo Urban Water Corporation following a petition accusing its management of alleged involvement in a N1.361 billion contract fraud.

The petition, written by a staff member, Mr Christopher Abhulimen, and addressed to Gov. Monday Okpebholo on Feb 6, alleged misappropriation of public funds through poorly executed and fictitious contracts.

Abhulimen listed eight questionable projects, including a N700 million pipeline network for Ugboha and Uromi, N23 million for Abico pumping station, and N120 million for potable water at Emotan Garden Estate, NAN reported.

Other projects include N150 million for reactivating water schemes in Etsako and Akoko-Edo, N150 million for pipe supply, N15 million for chemical supply, N160 million for Ugboha Dam management, and N43 million from the alleged illegal sale of ductile pipes.

The petitioner urged the governor to thoroughly investigate the projects and Mrs Adeboyega’s role in the alleged financial mismanagement.

 

Responding to the allegations, the management denied any wrongdoing, saying one Robinson Akhenoba had written a rejoinder.

 

In the rejoinder she forwarded, Akhenoba dismissed the claims as misleading and urged the governor to rely on verified facts rather than “manipulative tactics and misinformation.”

 

“Prioritising facts over baseless claims will ensure justice,” Akhenoba stated.

 

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the controversy has heightened tensions within the corporation as stakeholders await the government’s response to the allegations.
