Open letter,
Commencement of Investigation into the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road Contract
To Rt. Honorable Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker of the House of Representatives
Dear Mr. Speaker,
We received with some relief the report that the Federal House of Representatives, under your able leadership, this week resolved to commence an investigation into irregularities in the award of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road Project.
I commend you for keeping faith with the people in this matter and taking this first step towards calling the executive to order and insisting that it is mandatory, and not optional, for all to abide by the laws of the land.
This calls to mind a quote generally attributed to an Egyptian proverb:
They asked the Pharaoh, “what made you a tyrant?”. He said, “no one stopped me”.
We look forward to the outcome of your investigations.
Yours faithfully,
Funso Doherty.

- Chairman, House Committee on Public Procurement
