Officials of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, ICPC, tracking the execution of constituency projects said there was no evidence of the execution of eight projects in Potiskum/Nangere Federal Constituency of Yobe State.

Officials of Federal Government agencies supervising the execution of the contracts refused to talk to newsmen about their findings.

A correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria who accompanied the officials reported, however, that the team could also not find any individual or community to state that they benefitted from the projects.

The projects include two contracts for the supply of motorcycles in Yobe, a state where the use of motorcycles had been banned since 2012.
