Meanwhile, in another story, Just a few days before President Muhammadu Buhari’s term ends, the Nigerian federal administration defended its recent decisions over contract awards and external borrowing.
Babatunde Fashola, the minister of works and housing, declared that contracts would still be awarded up until May 28 at midnight.
Fashola outlined his position when launching the N 90 billion improvement of the 49-kilometer Akure/Ado-Ekiti highway in Akure, the seat of Ondo state.

“People are asking why we are still awarding contracts when we have just a few days to go. It is a juvenile conversation. They forgot, among other things, that the term of this administration ends at midnight on May 28,” he stated.
Fashola contends that ongoing contract awards are necessary due to the complexity of governance, particularly as it relates to infrastructure and public debt.
The Minister maintained that the only ways to fund infrastructure development were through taxes or borrowing, saying that the NNPC will pay the N90 billion cost of the highway project through the federal government’s tax credit program.
