The Nation Newspaper Lagos-Calabar coastal highway a misplaced priority, says Obi
The former Anambra State governor decried the decision of the Federal Government to go ahead with the “inessential project amid the spread of poverty and hunger in the land”.
“The outcry against this project has been overwhelming because it contrasts with the prevailing situation in the country at this time.“However, reports as of yesterday indicate that demolition of businesses and residences in the designated right of way for the project has commenced from the Lagos end.My focus now is on how to make Nigeria work not 2027 election – Peter Obi
“This hasty flag-off is in utter defiance of widespread outcry by the public, especially business and property owners, whose investments are directly affected by this project. No one knows the outcry that will herald this project as it progresses towards poor rural landscapes.
