Pecohub A civic accountability group has raised concerns over alleged lack of transparency in federal contract awards under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, accusing the government of favouring companies reportedly linked to the President’s son, Seyi Tinubu, and billionaire associates.
The group made the allegation in a post on X (formerly Twitter), saying that since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu came into power, companies allegedly linked to his son, Seyi Tinubu, and some billionaire associates have benefited from major contract awards worth billions.
One of the key projects mentioned is the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which has been widely discussed across the country because of its huge cost and national importance.
According to the group, the project, reportedly valued at $13 billion, was awarded to a company they claim is connected to a businessman believed to be close to the President.
They also claimed that documents making the rounds online suggest possible offshore business relationships linking Seyi Tinubu to the same contracting network, though these claims have not been independently verified.
In the post, the group questioned why major national projects of such financial weight would be handled in ways that leave room for doubt, especially at a time when many Nigerians are dealing with rising hardship and struggling to trust government spending.
They argued that Nigerians deserve to know how contracts are awarded and who truly benefits from them.
The allegations have since stirred reactions online, with several users calling on anti-corruption agencies and the National Assembly to look into the matter and clarify the procurement process behind major projects.
