Nigerian Rep Calls for Urgent Review of Contractor Payment Policy

Rep Obi Aguocha urges the Nigerian government to review its contractor payment policy due to protests by aggrieved contractors. Aguocha highlighted that 90% of projects remain unpaid, leading to financial struggles for contractors.

He emphasized the need for a central payment system to improve efficiency and public trust in project management. The current system has caused delays, inflated costs, and strained public resources.

Aguocha stressed the importance of revisiting the policy to alleviate hardships faced by contractors and ensure effective project execution.
