A former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, says it is not late for President Bola Tinubu to stop the controversial Lagos-Calabar coastal road project and subject it to further public conversations.
Chidoka said the government should rather improve Nigeria’s inland waterways, build small seaports across the coastal areas as the best way to move goods from one coastal city to another is by ship.
The former minister, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, was asked what he would do about the project if he was the President considering the controversy it has generated, to which he replied that he would stop it.
The ex-minister said that the award of the contract for the coastal road did not follow due process and that the whole process was shrouded in secrecy and therefore lacked transparency.
