The Government of Plateau State has sued a member of the House of Representatives representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency, Honorable Yusuf Gagdi, over his alleged re-award of a road construction contract initially awarded by the state government.

The state government is seeking to halt Yusuf Gagdi’s ongoing construction of the 33km Gunji-Shwer-Dokpai Road with a spur to Tiplik, which he undertook as part of his constituency projects.

The plaintiffs argue that the road contract, originally awarded in 2008 to Hajaig Nigeria Limited, remains legally binding and that Yusuf Gagdi has no constitutional or legal authority to re-award it.

They are seeking court declarations affirming the contract’s validity and a perpetual injunction restraining Yusuf Gagdi and Orion Acres Ltd from interfering with the project.
