The African Development Bank Group has announced the debarment of Maxicare Company (Nigeria) Limited for alleged fraudulent practices.
Consequently, according to a statement by AfDB on Wednesday, the Nigerian firm won’t be able to participate in AfDB Group-financed project for three years from February 23, 2021.
Investigation by the bank’s office of integrity and anti-corruption revealed that the company and its associates involved in collusive and fraudulent practices during a tender for the construction of weigh stations and supply of equipment under the transport facilitation programme for the Bamenda–Mamfe–Abakaliki–Enugu road corridor connecting Cameroon and Nigeria, co-financed by AfDB.
