Olusegun Ariyo

Former Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has condemned the Lagos-Calabar Highway project by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government.

According to the ex-president, the project, which would cost N15.6 trillion when completed, is wasteful and corrupt.

He also described the building of the Vice President’s official residence at N21 billion as wasteful.

The Nigerian ex-leader disclosed this in chapter six of his new book, ‘Nigeria: Past and Future,’ noting that Nigerian leaders come to power mainly to steal and enrich themselves.

He stated:” Everything is said to be transactional, and the slogan is ‘It is my turn to chop.’

“Typical examples of waste, corruption, and misplaced priorities are the murky Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, on which the President had turned a deaf ear to protests, and the new Vice-President’s official residence built at a cost of N21bn in the time of economic hardship to showcase the administration hitting the ground running and to show the importance of the office of the Vice-President. What small minds!”

Meanwhile, Tinubu presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga is yet to comment on the latest criticism against his principal by Obasanjo.

Recall that the Lagos-Calabar Highway and the new VP’s residential constructions had sparked intense controversies among the Nigerian public.

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 election, Atiku

Abubakar, also raised concerns about the Projects, is now  calling for its suspension

However, Tinubu’s government had defended the projects.

The Minister of Work, Dave Umahi, had also, on several occasions, defended the project.

He recently announced that 30 kilometres out of 70 km of the Lagos-Calabar Highway phase 1, Section, will be completed in May 2025
