The National Assembly Joint Committee on Ethics,Privileges and Public Petitions asked anti-graft agencies to probe a contractorwho abandoned a project since 2015 after collecting 1.5 billion mobilisationfee.
The contractor was said to have abandoned theconstruction of the headquarters of the Code of Conduct Bureau in Abuja whichis still at foundation level after four years.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Ethics, Privilegesand Public Petitions, Senator Ayo Akinyelure, who presided over the jointsession,  stated this when the CCB, Codeof Conduct Tribunal and the Public Complaints Commission, appeared at thefederal parliament to defend their 2020 budgets.
He wondered why neither the management of the CCBnor any other agency of government had raised the alarm on the abandoned project.
The lawmakers described as alarming the revelationby the CCB Chairman, Mohammed Issa; and the Chairman of the CCT, Danladi Umar,that they had not received any capital vote since 2018.
