A report by Tracka, a service delivery promotion platform by BudgIT, has revealed that seventeen contractors were paid a total of N2.4 billion for fifteen projects across nine states, but none of the contractors have commenced work on the sites.

The report, which monitored 1,404 projects worth N282.5 billion across twenty-five states, found that 720 projects (51%) were completed, 332 projects (24%) were ongoing, 129 projects (9%) were either abandoned or fraudulently executed, and 223 projects (16%) were not executed.

Some of the abandoned projects include the Rehabilitation of Welcome-Nasarawa-Farewell road in Nasarawa State, which was awarded to Mainstream Contractors for N401 million, and the Construction and Equipping of PHC Centre in Adedeji Community, Ikirun, Osun State, which was awarded to A3 Interbiz Link for N88 million.

The report also ranked ten Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) based on their project implementation rates. The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) emerged as the top performer with a 78% project completion rate, followed by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture (68%) and the Nigerian Rural Electrification Agency (65%).
