A witness for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has told the Kwara State High Court in Ilorin that Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) contracts were allegedly never awarded to contractors during the tenure of former Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed.
The EFCC’s third witness, Engineer Abdulsalam Olarewaju Sirajudeen, made this allegation during the ongoing trial concerning the alleged misappropriation of N5.78 billion in UBEC funds by the ex-governor and his Commissioner for Finance, Ademola Banu, according to an EFCC statement on Thursday.
Ahmed served as Kwara governor from May 29, 2011, to May 29, 2019.
