Lack of continuation in government is part of the root cause of the issue of contracts, especially with international bodies. “For any contract to be sealed by the government, the accountant general of the federation and minister of finance must be aware, but that is not the case in our country. The government should be encouraged to check records of past administrations so that it can continue where their work stopped.”Peter Obi reacts to Nigeria’s new presidential jet
