A group of companies have dragged the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami , to Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed of a Federal High Court in Abuja over and alleged unlawful award of 190 Km Rail Line construction to a Chinese firm without due process of law.

In their writ of summons issued by their lead counsel, James Okoh, the plaintiffs were asking the Federal High Court to cancel the letter of “No Objection” issued by the Bureau of Public Procurement in favour of CCECC for the award of the N91.5 billion Rail Line Contract in breach of procurement laws and re-issue same in their favour.

The plaintiffs prayed the court for an injunction restraining all the defendants from awarding or purporting to award the contract to the Chinese firm or any third party on the basis of the flawed bidding process. They also asked for an order restraining the Minister of Transportation or any of his agents from presenting the CCECC to the Federal Executive Council for the purpose of the award of the contract.
