The House of Representatives mandated its Committees on Works and Finance to investigate the ₦200 billion utilized for the construction of the Lokoja-Benin Road. Following a motion by Johnson Oghuma, the probe examined why the dualization project, awarded in 1999 with a completion deadline of December 2021, remains abandoned and has become a "death trap" despite significant budgetary allocations and interventions like SUKUK.
