…demand Minister Uzoka-Anite resignation for selective payments, favouritismBy Vivian Okejeme, AbujaApproximately 500 lawyers, organised under the Concerned Lawyers for Probity and Justice, demonstrated at the Federal Ministry of Finance today in solidarity with indigenous contractors owed an estimated ₦4 trillion for completed capital projects. Contractors claim that despite partial disbursements after demonstrations in December 2025, the majority of verified debts remain unsettled, exacerbating financial hardship. In a press statement issued today, the lawyers described the situation as causing widespread distress among contractors and their families. “We are profoundly disappointed with the Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, whose office bears direct responsibility for releasing these funds. Instead of showing leadership and empathy, her ministry has become a symbol of delay and detachment.
