The Edo Government says it will probe contracts for the construction of structures and supply of equipment to Benin Central Hospital, awarded by the administration of  Adams Oshiomhole.

Cruise Osage,  Special Adviser to Edo Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday in Benin.

According to the Governor’s Aide, the action for the probe was necessitated by numerous calls on the government to look into the contracts in which billions of taxpayers’ money were expended on poorly executed projects under the regime of Adams  Oshiomhole, past Governor and incumbent APC National Chairman.

He said the Commission of Enquiry will be constituted and would have a mandate to ascertain if details of contract terms were adhered to, especially the quality of materials used for the building.

The Commission of Enquiry would also determine the extent of irregularities regarding the purchase of equipment, among others.
