Senator Adeola Solomon is yet to respond the requests by Tracka that he provides details of constituency projects
Senator Adeola Solomon representing Lagos West Senatorial District in the 8th assembly has shunned accountability requests from transparency platform, Tracka tarnishing the impeccable record of Lagos senators.
Transparency platform, Tracka has repeatedly urged lawmakers who have oversight functions over constituency projects to show proof of these projects, most of which runs into hundreds of millions of naira.
Of the three senators from Lagos in the 8th assembly, only Senator Solomon has refused to reply Tracka putting a dent to the laudable unbeaten run by the commercial state’s senators.
“Dear Sen @YAYIAdeola you’re yet to respond to our tweet and letter of request on N297m projects locations and implementation status of projects you nominated in 2017 budget.The people of your senatorial district will appreciate your prompt response since FG has released 70% funds,” Tracka tweeted with evidence of acknowledgment letters.
