Stop Economic Sabotage: Secure Funding and Pay Contractors Now

Across Nigeria, agencies award contracts without guaranteed funds, then struggle to pay when projects finish. This isn’t governance — it’s economic sabotage. Overdue payments leave businesses drowning in debt, banks wary of lending, and vital projects abandoned. Investor confidence erodes while workers and families bear the cost. To fix this, the government must only award contracts after confirming funding, publish all outstanding debts, set strict payment schedules, and hold ministries accountable. Nigeria’s growth depends on honoring completed work.

Agencies should link contract approval to a dedicated escrow account so contractors receive funds upon project completion.
