Funso Doherty, governorship
candidate of the Action Democratic Congress (ADC) in Lagos, has written to
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of the state on projects funded with taxpayers’
money.
In an open letter addressed to
the Sanwo-Olu, Doherty said he analysed the register of public procurement
awards by the Lagos government for the second and third quarters of 2023.
According to the chartered
accountant, the period reviewed was from April to September.
In the open letter, Doherty
listed some projects awarded by the state government that “require greater
scrutiny”.
“I just wrote an open letter to the Governor
on Public Procurement awards reported by LASG for the 2nd and 3rd quarters of
2023, highlighting a number of issues for further scrutiny and remedial action.
Judicious use of public funds is always important, and is especially so now,”
he posted on X.
