In apparent preparation towards the unknown, various sources in Delta State has reached out to Secrets Reporters on how Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan has concluded plans to fill his account with state money in 2015, even when he will be handing over power on May 29th 2015. The budget according to sources is meant to frustrate the incoming government who will see nothing to work with.
Careful analysis of the 2015 budget clearly indicates that the budget has been recycled over the years with money budgeted for the same project over and over again. One of the most fraudulent on the list is the Effurun flyover which was agree with contractors to be completed by December 2014 but is not near completion till date. The flyover in Effurun and Asaba according to the State Commissioner for Works, Solomon Funkekeme was billed for N7.7 billion, but in a clear show of stealing the State, Uduaghan has budgeted another whooping sum of N5 billion for the two flyovers.
Without any pity for his successor, he further cornered another N2 billion for four new polytechnics in the State when the three Senatorial District already have one each, built by former Governor James Ibori. A government house source confided in this medium that the polytechnic budget is for personal use as none of such is in the plans of the governor before he leaves.
The Delta State Teaching Hospital, Oghara and Central Hospital that has been fully completed long ago will be gulping N2 billion each in what is not exactly known where it will go to in the health care.
We present to you the budget of fraud that has continuously appeared in the budget since Uduaghan became governor.
