On a motion by Austin Achado (APC, Benue), the House of Representatives resolved to investigate the procurement of the 700 km Lagos-Calabar coastal highway. The motion said the arrangement with Hitech Construction Company Nigeria Limited for financing the project breached the Public Procurement Act 2007 and lacked National Assembly approval. The House directed the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, and the Attorney-General, Lateef Fagbemi, to explain the procurement.
