ABUJA — The Convener of The Common Good, Rev. David Ugolor, has said the Federal Government’s intervention in the deteriorating Benin-Asaba Road must be accompanied by transparency and accountability over the concession process.
Ugolor, in a statement issued on Wednesday, said President Bola Tinubu’s intervention was welcome but had not addressed questions surrounding the process that led to the concession and the subsequent deterioration of the road.
He said available public records indicated that the Federal Executive Council (FEC), on January 18, 2023, approved the 125-kilometre Benin-Asaba corridor for a 25-year concession to Africa Plus Consortium.
