The Federal Government has begun the demolition of properties affected by the right of way on the Lagos-Calabar coastal road construction.<\/p>\n
The Minister of Works, David Umahi, made this known in a statement released by Mr Orji Uchenna, his Special Adviser on Media, on Sunday in Abuja.<\/p>\n
Umahi said that the project would mark a major milestone in the Renewed Hope roadmap of President Bola Tinubu towards economic diversification.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThe Federal Government is passionate about the plight of the people and will, in the exercise of the right of way, put a human face on the demolition of properties required to give way for the construction of the coastal highway.<\/p>\n
Umahi said: \u201cThe Federal Government is considering the most economically-viable way to pass the coastal road without much damage.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo there would be no delay in the payment of compensation to affected property owners. So I solicit your cooperation in the timeline of the demolition exercise.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are doing some minor adjustments, and our commitment is to stay within the coastline.\u201d<\/p>\n
Umahi called on those affected by the demolition exercise to take it as a sacrifice for the ultimate impact of the project for the economic prosperity of the nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
