The Commission’s Spokesperson Rasheedat Okoduwa in astatement quoted the chairman as saying this at the induction ofnewly-qualified members of the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors inAbuja.
Owasanoye, while making emphasis on the ongoing tracking ofconstituency projects by the Commission in 12 states, said that the exercisewas not to witch-hunt anyone.
He said that tracking the projects was an importantassignment for ICPC as the nation had spent about two trillion naira on thefunding since 2000 without commensurate impact at the grassroots.
