Contractors and CSOs Demand Minister's Resignation Over Alleged N4 Trillion Debt

A coalition of 1,000 civil society organizations has joined contractors in demanding the resignation of Minister of State for Finance, Dori Uzoka, over an alleged N4 trillion debt owed to local contractors by the Nigerian government. The coalition accuses the government of failing to implement prompt payment directives, leading to economic sabotage.

The group warns of severe economic consequences if the debt issue remains unresolved and calls for urgent action from President Tinubu to address the payment process. Despite assurances, eligible contractors have not received payments, leading to renewed protests in Abuja.
