Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has debunked allegations that he insisted that two Chinese companies be selected by the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) to manage Bonny and Warri channels.

He made the denial yesterday in a statement by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Dr. Magdalene Ajani, in response to reports on the $1.5 billion channel contracts.The minister said he only insisted that the contract be done in-house, instead of the humongous amount paid to contractors yearly for dredging.

“The panel has been charged to be fair and equitable in its deliberations and will certainly ensure that the primary purpose of the enquiry is the promotion of the principles of transparency and accountability which are strongly espoused in the present political dispensation,” the statement added. APC, in a statement by its National Secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee , Sen. John Akpanudoedehe, argued that the measure further reinforced President Muhammadu Buhari’s zero tolerance for corrupt practices in his administration.
