What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Niyi Akingunola, the African Democratic Congress candidate for Ondo East/Ondo West Federal Constituency, accused the Federal Government of violating procurement and appropriation laws concerning the rerouting of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway away from parts of Ondo State. Akingunola demanded that any alteration to the approved route or cost must follow legal procedures, including obtaining fresh approvals from the Bureau of Public Procurement. Separately, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar called on the Federal Government to disclose the contract documents and payment records for the highway, questioning the financial implications of the revised alignment.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The controversy centers on the legitimacy of public spending and infrastructure contracts. Critics argue that changes to the project's route and design without proper re-appropriation breach existing laws. The demands for transparency also include disclosure of any proposed additional loans intended to finance the highway project.
