Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road News

Umahi

Minister of Works, Dave Umahi has said the Group Chief Executive Officer and founder of The Landmark Group, Paul Onwuanibe, cannot claim compensation from the Federal Government in connection with the demolition of structures for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.

The Federal Government is currently demolishing properties along the shoreline to create a pathway for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. The Landmark Group, owners of the Landmark beach in Lagos State, is believed to be one of the organisations that will be highly affected by the demolition. However, Umahi has insisted that infrastructures belonging to Landmark were spared, hence the owner can't make claims on the Federal Government.

Addressing journalists, the minister said the beach was on the right of way and shoreline. He said: “No claim for Landmark, we spared all his infrastructure, we don’t pay for the demolition of shanties because it is on our right-of-way, 15 meters from the shoreline, so he has no claim. 'We made all efforts to spare his infrastructure. The Landmark owner is acting like a politician, me I’m an engineer. 'While he does all the politics, I am an engineer, I’ll do the engineering work.
