Despite FG’s attempt to spin narrative, Nigerians question MoU with UK firm having no history in railway construction

Fresh controversies have emerged concerning the Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) between the Federal Ministry Of Transportation and MPH Rail Development (UK) Limited for the proposed Port Harcourt-Calabar-Enugu – Abuja Standard Gauge Rail Project.

Reports have emerged that the embattled former Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker who is currently standing trial over corruption charges, Adeyemi Ikuforiji owned a stake of the company in question and only resigned from the company as late as March 15, 2024.

Surprisingly, the said company with only 6 Directors, which has no prior history of construction much more railway construction and which only came into existence in 2019 is poised to secure billions of Naira worth of project from the Federal Government.
