Atiku dares Tinubu to reveal cost of Lagos-Calabar highway project

PUNCH 

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 general election, Atiku Abubakar, has dared President Bola Tinubu to disclose the full cost of the Lagos-Calabar highway project.

Atiku said in a statement on Tuesday that the 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 PUNCH reports that the Federal Government recently announced the start of construction on the 700km Lagos-Calabar coastal highway.

The Minister of Works, David Umahi, revealed this in a statement last week by his Special Adviser on Media, Orji Uchenna, in Abuja.
