Peter Obi: Not Too Late To Discontinue Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, It’s Misplaced Priority

Expressing deep concern over the insensitivity displayed by the government, Obi highlighted the devastating impact of the project’s initiation on businesses and residences located in the designated right-of-way. He lamented the destruction of livelihoods, the waste of lifetime investments, and the loss of jobs as bulldozers tear down affected areas.

The statement read, “The sight of this insensitive demolition is heart-wrenching. Livelihoods are being wiped away, lifetime investments are being wasted, and jobs are disappearing as bulldozers roar through. The homes of the elderly are being overturned by the power of bulldozers.
