The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), under its Constituency and Executive Projects Tracking Initiative (CEPTI), has successfully tracked and verified the execution of three borehole projects in Ondo State awarded by the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA).
The ICPC team carried out the tracking exercise alongside representatives from National Primary Health Care Development Agency and other accredited Project Management Consultants.
The projects were approved at the NPHCDA Tenders Board meeting held on November 20, 2024, and formally awarded on November 21, 2024, to Workman Network & Equipment Resources Ltd.
The contract, valued at ₦54,758,244.00 (Fifty-Four Million, Seven Hundred and Fifty-Eight Thousand, Two Hundred and Forty-Four Naira) inclusive of taxes, covered the drilling of motorized boreholes at the following Primary Health Care Centres in Ondo State:
Basic Health Centre, Danjuma – Akure South LGA
Basic Health Centre, Awaye – Ile-Oluji/Oke Igbo LGA
Boa II Primary Health Centre – Akoko South West LGA
ICPC’s monitoring team confirmed that the boreholes were executed and are functional, providing much-needed potable water to the health facilities and surrounding communities.
At the Basic Health Centre in Ile-Oluji, Oke Igbo, the Primary Health Care Officer-in-Charge, Mrs. Ajiromoke Mercy, expressed satisfaction with the quality of work delivered.
She commended the initiative, noting that the borehole project has effectively addressed longstanding water challenges within the health centre and has significantly benefited the host community.
The Commission reiterates its commitment to ensuring transparency, accountability, and value-for-money in the implementation of public-funded projects across the country.
Through sustained tracking and verification exercises, ICPC continues to promote effective service delivery and deter corruption in the execution of government projects.
The Commission encourages members of the public to support its efforts by providing timely information on the status of constituency and executive projects within their communities.
