President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed regrets that despite over N1 trillion spent on the constituency projects of National Assembly members in the last 10 years, there is nothing to show.
He noted that the data gathered from Nigerians in rural communities showed that they had not felt the impact of such projects.
Buhari said this while declaring open the two-day National Summit on Diminishing Corruption in Public Sector, at the State House Conference Centre on Tuesday in Abuja.

The event was organised by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation in collaboration with the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission.
“N1 trillion has been appropriated in the last 10 years for constituency projects, but the impact can hardly be seen”, he stated.
The President directed the ICPC to go after the contractors, who collected funds for such projects and their collaborators in government.”
He expressed delight that the activities of the ICPC on the constituency projects has forced over 200 contractors to return to sites to complete the projects for which they have been paid.
