  "summary": "The Presidential Campaign Council of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has called for full disclosure of contract details related to the ₦15tn Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project, citing concerns over transparency and accountability. The council's Director-General, Felix Hyat, made the demand at a press conference following the announcement that the highway's route had been realigned. The Minister of Works, David Umahi, defended the decision, citing engineering considerations and the need to ensure value for public funds. Hyat faulted the government over alleged procurement irregularities and demanded the publication of engineering assessments, cost implications, and a comprehensive audit of the work done and funds spent.",
