ICPC Drills Ex SMEDAN DG Bature Masari
The immediate past Director-General of Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN), Bature Masari, has been arrested by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) for allegations bordering on corruption in the award of contracts by the agency.
The former Director-General is being quizzed by the
Commission for his alleged role in fraudulent awards of specialized
entrepreneurship contracts to his cronies who were neither professionals nor
qualified to execute the projects and for allegedly demanding and receiving
kickbacks from contractors.
He is also accused of using his position for personal
advantage, a statement by ICPC spokesperson, Rasheedat Okoduwa, said Thursday.
