Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway: Tinubu’s personal interest behind hasty project

The 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Sunday said the Nigerian Government was 'solely expediting action on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway due to the business ties between President Bola Tinubu and Gilbert Chagoury, the owner of Hitech.' Chagoury is the contractor responsible for the highway project. Atiku said the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway contract was granted in violation of procurement regulations.

The former Vice President said instead of 'enhancing the ease of doing business, the Tinubu government had allegedly demonstrated to the global community that his business endeavours and those of his family would consistently take precedence over national interests.' Atiku claimed that the project being done with more than $13 billion was awarded without competitive bidding.
