Read Time:1 Minute, 1 Second

The Federal Government has begun the demolition of properties affected by the right of way on the Lagos-Calabar coastal road construction.

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.

Umahi said that the project would mark a major milestone in the Renewed Hope roadmap of President Bola Tinubu towards economic diversification.

He said: ā€œThe 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.

Umahi said: ā€œThe Federal Government is considering the most economically-viable way to pass the coastal road without much damages.

ā€œSo there would be no delay in the payment of compensation to affected property owners. So I solicit your cooperation to the timeline of the demolition exercise.

ā€œWe are doing some minor adjustments, and our commitment is to stay within the coastline.ā€

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.
