Going further, Makinde noted that his assessment of the job done so far on the site would barely pass for N150 million.
“My impression of the work done so far if I will have to evaluate and cost it, it couldn’t have been more than N150 million that I will spend on it.
“It was a faceless contractor and we don’t even know where their offices are located. I could have stopped by to go and discuss with them, but there is nowhere to stop by,” Makinde said.
