EXCLUSIVE: Documents expose multi-billion Naira contract scam by Ex-Governor Yari of Zamfara

The immediate past governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, awarded a contract for the same project twice to the same contractor at bloated cost, documents exclusively obtained.

The contract for the construction and drilling of 84 solar-powered boreholes across the 14 Local governments of Zamfara State was first awarded in 2014 to a Chinese firm, China Zhonghao Nigeria Limited, for N27.5billion.

The same contract was again awarded in 2018 with the same scope and at the same cost.

Worse still, the initial valuation communicated to the company when the state government first notified it of the award of the contract, was N19.7 billion.
