Letter,
LASG Response to Open Letter on Selected Public Procurements by LASG in the Period April – September 2023
To His Excellency, Babajide Sanwoolu, Governor, Lagos State
Dear Mr Governor:
I acknowledge with gratitude, receipt of a response by the Public Procurement Agency to issues raised in my open letter dated 17 November, 2023 on the above subject and hereby commend your responsiveness.
Having had the opportunity to go through same, please find enclosed, our further comments on each issue in light of PPA’s response. We trust that Government will find this additional input useful in its decisions as it goes on to address the issues.
Further, in the wider engagement arising from these issues, our attention has been drawn to four awards from the Ministry of Justice in January 2023 totaling N200 million to four law firms in respect of personal legal representation for you, Mr. Governor, in a partisan political matter.
In light of the obvious irregularity of such awards, and the apparent involvement of the Justice Ministry, I hereby suggest that an independent special investigator be appointed to examine this specific matter and report findings to the public.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Funso Doherty
