The committee registered its grievances during an investigative hearing on Tuesday while quizzing the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Works, Dr Yakubu Adam on the project.
The hearing was on the inspection of critical national assets especially roads that were constructed from the immediate past administration.
The Chairman of the committee Rep. Bamidele Salam (PDP-Osun) lamented that the money for the project was a loan by the Federal Government.
“Information we received from the Debt Management Office indicated the number of roads were even undertaken with loans taken by the federal government.

“This road was supposed to be completed within 12 months; there is an allegation that the road awarded in 2022 has not started as we speak and there has been full payment of the sum by the Federal Ministry of Works to the contractor concerned,” he said.
