As demolition of structures along the right-of-way of the proposed Lagos-Calabar coastal road continues, scrap metal dealers have been enjoying an unusual boom in business.
Amid the controversy surrounding the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway, the Minister of Works, David Umahi, had, on Saturday, 27 April, kick-started the demolition of structures situated along the road’s right of way.
As the excavators began demolition, leaving owners in anguish, the metal dealers and their employees, mostly young men, have since been leaving the site with truckloads of iron rods and other metals.
