Allegation
A report alleged the Ekiti State Government awarded two separate contracts for the same Internal Revenue House construction project — ₦1.7 billion announced in November 2024 and a further ₦2.4 billion contract in August 2025 — raising concerns about contract splitting and irregular procurement.
Outcome / Status
The government said the ₦2.4bn figure represented the original ₦1.7bn contract plus a ₦731m addition approved for external works, not a second, duplicate contract; no independent audit confirming either account was identified for this entry.
Administration's response
The Ekiti State Government categorically denied wrongdoing, contract splitting, or breach of due process, and criticised the reporting outlet for what it called a pattern of unverified allegations.
