Allegations of Favoritism Rock Lagos-Calabar Highway Project: Atiku Accuses President Tinubu

In a recent development that has stirred both criticism and approval, the construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is under scrutiny. Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has raised serious allegations against President Bola Tinubu, claiming that the project's acceleration is linked to personal business ties with contractor Gilbert Chagoury of Hitech Construction Company. This project, crucial for enhancing connectivity and economic growth in the region, has seen the Lagos state government authorize the demolition of multiple structures to clear the way. However, controversies have arisen over the transparency and fairness of the contracting process, with claims of bypassing standard procedures for public-private projects. Furthermore, the involvement of the president’s son, Seyi Tinubu, in related business ventures raises additional concerns about potential conflicts of interest, despite official statements denying any impropriety.
