Kogi State Government Staff, Rachel Oshanisi Pockets Over ₦220 Million in Multiple Contracts Scam Masterminded by Lower Benue River Basin Development Authority


Documents have revealed how the Lower Benue River Basin Development Authority (RBDA) made payment twice for the same contracts awarded to Caldwell Atlantic Nigeria Limited, a company whose key management staff is a civil servant with the Kogi State Government.


This action goes against the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal (CCBT) Act, which prevents government officials from owning or running a private company while being employed as full-time staff. However, such laws do not apply if the company or business is in the farming sector.


Despite this law, SecretsReporters perusing Govspend, a portal that tracks government spending, discovered that the Lower Benue River Basin Development Authority made several payments to Rachel Oshanisi through a company where she is part of the key management staff, to the sum of ₦220,235,175.06.
