APC to Abia Govt: Emulate Tinubu’s Transparency — Declare Your Project CostsThe Abia state chapter of the All Progressives Congress ( APC) calls on Labour Party led Abia Government to emulate the APC-led Federal Government by transparently declaring the cost of all ongoing and completed projects.
The Federal Government has just released the full list of roads and flyovers slated for repair, including the cost of each project and the length of the roads involved. This is the level of openness that promotes public trust.
The Abia APC believes that making project costs public strengthens accountability, builds confidence, and ensures that government remains answerable to the people.
Unfortunately, the Labour Party Led Abia Government appears to have adopted secrecy regarding the cost of projects as an official policy. This has left Abians in the dark about how their resources are being used.
The projects Recently Approved by the Federal Executive Council (6th November 2025) all have all the acceptable tenets of transparency that is required in leadership and the use of public funds.
They are:-
1. Sokoto–Badagry Coastal Superhighway Section 3
163 km (Badagry → Ogun-Oyo border)
₦553 billion (₦3.39 bn/km, full concrete)
2. Ota–Idiroko Section I + Flyover
14 km road + 509 m flyover, Ogun
₦98 bn (road) + ₦23 bn (flyover) = ₦121 billion total
3. Ijebu Igbo–Etapa–Owoyen Road
37 km (Ogun-Oyo link, +7 km added)
₦53 billion (from ₦13 bn original)
307% increase, now full concrete with upgraded base.
4. Lagos–Ibadan Expressway Phase II Section II
Fresh award: ₦43.73 billion
Includes underpasses, ramps, and side roads.
5. Ilorin–Omu Aran–Egba Road Phase I
31 km (out of 207 km), Kwara
₦43 billion
6. Wasasa–Turunku–Mararaba Phase II
42 km, Kaduna
₦30.23 billion
Continues earlier 7.8 km section.
7. Enugu–Onitsha Road Phase I
35 km (OP Junction → Anambra border)
₦28.47 billion total (₦7 bn balance pending).
8. Mushin–NNPC–Apapa–Oshodi Dualisation
14.4 km, Lagos ports access
₦19.09 billion (up from ₦11 bn).
9. East–West Road (restructured)
PH–Warri axis + 3 flyovers + 2 bridges
Inherited ₦156 billion package
Two new flyovers (Abuloma & Refinery)
We therefore urge the Abia state Government to follow without delay, the trajectory of the APC Federal administration, ably led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and enshrine the doctrine of openness and resist the temptation of running a government of secrecy.
