Tinubu Awards GCON to Billionaire Chagoury Amid Controversy
Nigerian politician Bola Tinubu awarded the Grand Commander of the Order of Niger (GCON) to billionaire Gilbert Chagoury, a Lebanese-Nigerian businessman, on his 80th birthday. Chagoury, known for his conglomerate Chagoury Group involved in major infrastructure projects, has a close business and personal relationship with Tinubu dating back to his tenure as Lagos State governor.
The move has stirred controversy, with Femi Otedola praising Chagoury's mentorship and contributions to Lagos' progress. Despite past business ties involving Tinubu's son Seyi, the honor has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest.
