Enegix Construction JV PMCC Ltd has denied claims that it abandoned its Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP) contract in Ebonyi State, insisting that its workers, equipment and construction materials are still at the project site.

Speaking with journalists in Abuja, the company explained that work was only temporarily suspended because of heavy rainfall and the need to maintain quality standards.

Enegix said it was duly awarded the contract and had already completed major aspects of the project, including the clearing of a 28-kilometre road corridor, earthworks, hydraulic structures and bridge construction at Enyigba.

The company disclosed that a joint measurement carried out with officials of the Ebonyi State Government on September 1, 2025, confirmed that work worth more than N1 billion had been executed.

It added that although it had met all conditions for the amortisation of its Advance Payment Guarantee (APG), approval had not been granted for access to over N566 million meant for the continuation of the project.

The firm said it had therefore petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission over the dispute surrounding the contract.

Enegix also expressed concern over the role of Ms Osagie Adewumni in issues relating to the project and the company’s accounts.

The company called on the EFCC, ICPC, the Nigeria Police Force, the World Bank and other development partners to investigate the matter and related transactions.
