Amaechi sacked his entire cabinet to inflate the Monorail Project cost - Ministry tells Rivers Probe Panel

The Head of Safety and Aviation Department in the Rivers State Ministry of Transport, Mr. Saya Antiok, said on Thursday that the former state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, sacked his cabinet during his first term in office in order to award the monorail contract to a firm, TSI Property and Investment Holding Limited. Antiok suggested that the cabinet was sacked in order for Amaechi to inflate the contract cost.

This is coming as it has been revealed that the Amaechi’s government had spent over N33.9 billion from the initial N50 billion earmarked for the entire Phase One of the controversial monorail project. The original scope of the monorail project is 21.7 kilometers and valued at Two hundred and fifty million Euros (€250m).
