  Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola has accused the Federal Government of sabotaging the construction of the $1.354 billion Lekki Deep Seaport.

The governor who made the disclosure at the mega rally of his party, All Progressive Congress (APC) in Lagos said the “Federal Government has failed to fulfill its own side of the agreement.”

He said, “We are building the Lekki Deep Sea port, the investors have brought their own share of the required fund and Lagos State Government has provided the land. But it is saddening that the central government has failed to fulfill its own side of the bargain which was to providing $117 million of the total cost of the project.”

He added, “Rather than handover this fund for this project which will create employment, Federal Government was busy transferring the fund elsewhere.”

In another development, the governor recently criticized activists canvassing for free education in Nigeria, saying they are not well informed about what it means to give free education at all levels.
