N400bn Health Projects: Senate Probe Continues Despite Contractors’ Return To Site, Says Oloriegbe

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Ibrahim Oloriegbe, has vowed that the red chamber would continue with the probe of the abandoned 400 billion naira primary health care projects across the country despite the decision of the contractors to resume work, 16 years after they left the sites. 

Oloriegbe stated this on his official twitter handle.

The Senate had on February 16th, after deliberating on a motion sponsored by Oloriegbe, ordered investigation into why the 400 bn National Primary Health Centre NPHC project, initiated by the Olusegun Obasanjo administration, was abandoned.

The upper chamber had directed its committees on Works and Housing, Health and Communicable Disease to carry out a joint investigation into the matter.

However, three weeks after the resolution to Investigate the matter was passed the contractors had started returning to sites with local government authorities receiving medical equipment.
