Minister Umahi Challenges Governor Makinde to Public Debate Over Coastal Highway Cost Discrepancies

Minister Umahi of Works challenged Governor Makinde of Oyo State to a public debate following accusations of misleading statements on the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project's cost. Umahi emphasized the need for clarity and transparency in road construction costs, highlighting his academic and professional credentials.

The Nigerian Universities Commission recognizes Umahi's title as a professor in engineering practice. The challenge arose after Makinde allegedly avoided disclosing the project's cost during a TV interview.
