In his view, Laid Mohammed said the council approved contracts for 11 ecological projects across the six geopolitical zones of the country at N14,907,754,845.

“Memo presented, on behalf of Mr. President, by the secretary to the government, we sought approval for the award of contract for emergency procurement of the third and fourth quarters 2019, soil erosion, flood control, acceleration intervention projects in favour of 11 contractors, in the total sum of N14,907,754,845,’ he noted.
