The Minister of Works and Housing, BABATUNDE FASHOLA, has declared that no money was missing or stolen under his watch between September and December 2019.
FASHOLA denied reports that he supervised the illegal payment of 4.6 billion naira into private accounts when he served as Minister of Power, Works and Housing.
