PDP Demands Investigation into Lagos-Calabar Highway Project
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded transparency and accountability from the federal government regarding the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project. In a statement by PDP Board of Trustees Chairman Adolphus Wabara, the party criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's All Progressives Congress (APC) administration for not adhering to statutory requirements for transparency and accountability.
This statement follows Minister of Works David Umahi's announcement that the highway project will be rerouted through the existing East-West road from Ondo into Edo State. Wabara condemned the contract award for the project, citing the lack of an approved engineering design, environmental impact assessment, and adherence to the Public Procurement Act 2007.
The PDP Board described the government's actions as a gross abuse of office and called for a full investigation into the violations surrounding the project, emphasizing that critical national infrastructure should not be shielded from public scrutiny.
