President Bola Tinubu is set to commission eight projects in Akwa Ibom State, with each of them backed by repeated budgetary allocations running into billions of naira.
What has caught attention, though, is what has not been said. The Akwa Ibom state government has not publicly disclosed the contract sums or procurement records tied to any of the eight projects slated for inauguration.
For a state about to roll out the red carpet for a presidential commissioning, the silence around the numbers raises real questions about transparency and public accountability in how those billions were spent.
