executed. Contracts for projects ire not properly evaluated and do not follow
due process in Umuahia L.G.A Some of the Management staff are not aware of the existence

L.G.A. is not effectively monitored and controlled. Umuahia North L.G.A does
not strictly adhere to its budgetary provisions. Therefore, the following
recommendations are made:- Umuahia North L.G.A. should ensure that the developmental
projects for the rural communities are adequately funded and executed and the
contracts for the projects properly evaluated. Activities of the budget
monitoring and control committee should be closely supervised by the Management
