The project was captured by Govspend (also a nongovernmental organization tracking governments fiscal spending) though has been removed or was not uploaded at all on the Procurement Portal of the Taraba State Government.
The project was awarded under the administration of the former Governor Darius Ishaku and a sum of N14,694,020.60 was disbursed to one Ladisis Synergy Nigeria Ltd, being payment for the supply and installation of transformer at Mayo Gwoi Ward Jalingo, Taraba state, Govspend noted.
