APAPA has accused Transport Minister Alkali of illegal railway asset sales, calls for his sack and urgent probe into secret scrap deals with foreign buyers.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been urged to dismiss Nigeria's Minister of Transportation, Said Alkali, following allegations of the sale of railway assets, including locomotives and coaches, to private individuals. The call for Alkali's dismissal was made by the Network Against Corruption and Trafficking (NACAT), which claims that the sales were conducted without proper authorization and have led to significant financial losses for the country. NACAT's Executive Director, Olumide Apata, emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into these transactions and the immediate suspension of the minister to prevent further damage to Nigeria's railway infrastructure. The group also highlighted the potential negative impact on the nation's transportation system and the urgent need for transparency and accountability in the management of public assets.
