The Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) has faulted Federal Government’s decision to use the £4.2m (about N2.2b), being part of former Delta State Governor, James Ibori’s loot to be repatriated to Nigeria on the Second Niger Bridge and Lagos-Ibadan road.
It argued that the money should rather be spent on projects in Delta State, being the owner of the fund, describing Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami’s disclosure that the money would be used for projects outside Delta as unacceptable.
In a statement yesterday, Presidential-General, Olorogun Moses Taiga, condemned the decision saying: “The Federal Government should use the money to rehabilitate the Delta part of the Benin-Warri road, failed portions of the East West Road in Delta and fund the Federal University of Petroleum, Effurun.
