Maradun community in Maradun Local Government Area was selected as the project site for the multi-million naira mechanized farming, a modern kind of farming practice that ordinarily will cost millions of naira to execute. This is aimed at bringing relief to the people of Zamfara State.
“If the project has been executed, you will see heavy-duty machines being used and people working, all you can see here is an empty land which looks cleared, not because they came to clear it, no, the weather made it so. “I remember seeing the contractor just once, and ever since then, no one, either the contractor or the agency, has shown up to speak to us about the delay. In fact, we gave them land for free, and the land is still there, I am sure they have taken you there to see how big it is,” Abdullahi laments.
These laws exist to help regulate contract awards in Nigeria to ensure there is no room for corruption, transparency, and accountability upheld in the entire process.
