Nigeria - The IT firm which the Lagos State govt said received N78 million for the upgrade of former Governor Babatunde Fashola’s personal website, has denied being paid the amount.

The news of the expenditure has elicited outrage from Nigerians, with many using their social media accounts to lambast Mr. Fashola, widely seen as one of few upright politicians who could be given a cabinet position by President Mohammadu Buhari.

Info Access Plus Limited said its quotation for the job was N12.5 million, and that the state eventually spent N10 million.

The figure contradicts details released by the Lagos State procurement office, first reported by the budget analytic firm, BudgiT.

The listing shows N78 million was spent on the website.

Curiously, for a company that specialises on building and upgrading websites, a Google search for Info Access Plus, revealed that Info Access Plus Limited has no website of its own.

According to information technology experts, www.tundefashola.com, created by the firm for the former governor, is a WordPress website and an upgrade could not have cost more than N300, 000.

Lol. The more things change the more they stay the same.


This will open a can of worms in Lagos.... if the website for a Fashola cost N78m, what is the cost of the Lagos residence IT project?

Time for a press statement from Fashola.

The more fashola delays to make a press statement, the more guilty he looks.

No doubt someone will no go through the Lagos state books.

I wonder who is orchestrating this?
