The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has commenced tracking 105 constituency projects in Kano and Jigawa states. Barrister Ahmad Muhammad Wada disclosed this information during a briefing with journalists in Kano on Monday.

The exercise aims to ensure transparency and accountability while preventing the diversion of public funds allocated to these constituency projects. The commission will inspect 69 projects in Kano, valued at N17.8 billion, and 36 projects in Jigawa, worth N19.7 billion.

The inspections will verify whether the projects are executed in line with budgetary provisions, assess the quality of the work done, and determine the impact on the communities. The tracking exercise began on Saturday and is expected to last for two weeks.

Barrister Wada emphasized that the ICPC will not tolerate any attempts to divert funds for projects that are not actually executed. The commission also urged citizens to cooperate by reporting any suspicions or complaints regarding constituency projects in their areas.
