In Mabera, Sokoto, what should have been a road to progress has become a fast-fading stain of corruption, MonitNG, a public accountability organization has exposed
Under the much-hyped Sokoto Urban Renewal Project, residents were promised infrastructure. What they got was a sham: a thin smear of bitumen on bare earth—no foundation, no drainage, no intention for it to last.
And it didn’t. Two weeks after completion, the road began to crumble.
This isn’t poor workmanship. It’s a coordinated fraud. A scam where contractors and officials pocket the funds, then vanish—leaving behind a broken promise and a crumbling path.
The real cost? Children walking through mud to school. Sick residents stranded without access to clinics. Businesses disrupted. Lives put at risk.
This is not development. It’s deception in broad daylight.
