ACEP, which was joined by Oxfam America, to assess the Dawa Irrigation Project Site in the Ningo Prampram District which was rehabilitated in 2012, expressed disappointment at the poor quality of work done on the oil-funded project. In September, PIAC finished findings on five ‘ghost and substandard projects’ and referred them to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for investigations. PIAC is also partnered with the Office of the Special Prosecutor to investigate non-existent oil-funded projects in the country which budgets were approved for. The irrigation site is about 55 hectares where farmers cultivate crops like okra, pepper, cucumber etc.
