Wike unveiled this revelation during a discussion with media representatives in his Abuja office, highlighting his intervention which led to a significant reduction in the proposed amount.
“CCECC initially proposed an agreement with FCDA, sanctioned by the Federal Executive Council, demanding $129 million over 29 months for staff training. This seemed incredulous to me; it appeared more like deliberate obstruction. How could $129 million be justified for training? Even considering sending staff to China, such an exorbitant sum per person is unreasonable,” Wike expressed his concern.
