According to a non-governmental body, ex Governor of Lagos state Babatunde Fashola shouldn't be given an appointment in the present government because his hands are not clean.
The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL, says Fashola’s administration must be probed to prove he is clean.
The body recalled that following disclosure of may dilapidated schools in the state, Socio-Economic Right Accountability Project used the Freedom of Information Act to know how the Fashola government spent a $200m World Bank education funds.
The Lagos state government however refused to do so, claiming that the FOI Act did not apply to state governments.
CACOL said its investigation showed that the 1.36km Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, which was reportedly built for N25bn, cost only N6bn.
It added that a series of petitions has been to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to probe the various projects of the Fashola government in the face of the over N500bn debt left behind by the government.
