The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission ,ICPC, has successfully tracked the execution of three borehole projects in Ondo State awarded by the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA).
In a statement by its Spokesperson, John Okor Odey, ANIPR on Monday said that the ICPC team started the tracking exercise with representatives from National Primary Health Care Development Agency and other accredited Project Management Consultants.
“The projects were approved at the NPHCDA Tenders Board meeting on 20 November 2024, and formally awarded the following day to Workman Network & Equipment Resources Ltd. The contract, valued at N54,758,244 inclusive of taxes, covered the drilling of motorized boreholes at selected primary health care centres in Ondo State,” Mr Odey said.
According to ICPC, the boreholes were installed at Basic Health Centre, Danjuma in Akure South Local Government Area, Basic Health Centre, Awaye in Ile-Oluji/Oke Igbo Local Government Area, and Boa II Primary Health Centre in Akoko South West Local Government Area.
“ICPC’s monitoring team confirmed that the boreholes were executed and are functional, providing much-needed potable water to the health facilities and surrounding communities.
“At the Basic Health Centre in Ile-Oluji, Oke Igbo, the Primary Health Care Officer-in-Charge, Mrs. Ajiromoke Mercy, expressed satisfaction with the quality of work delivered.
“She commended the initiative, noting that the borehole project has effectively addressed longstanding water challenges within the health centre and has significantly benefited the host community,” the statement added
The Commission seized the opportunity to reiterate its commitment to ensuring transparency, accountability, and value-for-money in the implementation of public-funded projects across the country.
Through sustained tracking and verification exercises, ICPC assures it will continue to promote effective service delivery and deter corruption in the execution of government projects.
