the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election, ATIKU ABUBAKAR, has challenged President BOLA TINUBU to disclose the full cost of the Lagos-Calabar highway project.

In a statement signed by his Special Assistant, PHRANK SHAIBU, to former Vice President, that TINUBU administration could not continue to keep silent on how much public funds would be spent on the project at a time when Nigeria was still facing dire economic challenges.

The former Vice President had earlier questioned the TINUBU administration’s decision to award the contract to Gilbert Chagoury’s Hitech without competitive bidding, wondering why administration released N1.06tn for the pilot phase of the project.
