Obaseki, Others Wanted as Edo Assembly launches Probe into MOWAA and Radisson Hotel

Habiba Sam The Edo State House of Assembly's Ad-Hoc Committee, established to investigate the Museum of West African Art (MOWAA) and Radisson Hotel, has taken a significant step in its probe by inviting key stakeholders and former government officials to appear before it. 

Former Governor Godwin Obaseki, who initiated the MOWAA project, is among those summoned to provide insights into the funding and management of the project.

Obaseki is expected to shed light on the financial dealings of the Radisson Hotel project, which has been shrouded in controversy. 

The Committee is also interested in understanding the role played by the former Governor in the project's execution and the financial implications thereof.

In addition to Obaseki, other notable individuals have been invited to appear before the Committee. They include Philip Iheanacho, Director of MOWAA; Osarodion Ogie, former Secretary to the State Government; Joseph Eboigbe, former Edo Finance Commissioner; Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, former Attorney General of Edo State; and several other prominent individuals connected to the project.

The Committee has scheduled the appearances for Thursday, December 4, 2025, and has emphasized the importance of their attendance. 

The invitation is part of the Committee's efforts to gather evidence and insights into the MOWAA and Radisson Hotel projects, and to determine whether due process was followed in their execution.

The investigation aims to provide clarity on the financial dealings and management of the projects, and to identify any wrongdoing or irregularities that may have occurred. 

The Committee's findings are expected to inform future decisions on similar projects and ensure accountability in government.

The invitation extended to Obaseki and others is a clear indication that the Committee is determined to get to the bottom of the matter and ensure that all parties involved are held accountable.

 The development has sparked interest in the outcome of the investigation and its potential implications for the state's development.
