MELAYE: CONTRACT TO BUILD VP OSINBAJO’S GATE TO COST N250 MILLION

ABUJA, Nigeria – Chairman, Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory, Otunba Dino Melaye today told the Senate that contract to construct the gate of Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo will cost Nigeria a whopping sum of N250 million.

Melaye who was speaking at a press conference in Abuja said it is unnecessary to spend such a huge sum of money on a common gate considering the current economic recession.

He drew the attention of lawmakers to the need to review the contract.

Melaye also said the cost of the official residence being constructed for the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives was also unnecessary and the cost skyrocketed.
