Overpriced’ ₦355 Million ICT Centre in Akwa-Ibom Facilitated by Senate President Akpabio Remains Poorly Equipped, Raises Anti-Corruption Concerns
A civic technology platform, MonITNG, has flagged an “overpriced” ₦355 million ICT centre in Etim Ekpo, Akwa-Ibom North West Senatorial District, facilitated by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The project, executed through the Federal Cooperative College, Ibadan under the Ministry of Agriculture, is largely incomplete and poorly equipped, providing only 25 desktop computers, basic tables, and stools. Key facilities such as UPS systems, printers, backup power, and a perimeter fence are missing, rendering the centre largely unusable. MonITNG highlighted concerns over political branding and misuse of public funds, calling for contractors to complete the project and anti-corruption agencies to investigate, emphasizing that public resources must benefit communities rather than serve political interests.
