Youths from the oil producing region under the aegis of Niger Delta Youths Coalition for Peace and Progress, NDYCPP, have called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to immediately suspend the planned N1.8 trillion Lagos-Calabar coastal road project.
It will be recalled that the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project which spans over 750 kilometers with 160 bridges connecting the entire Niger Delta region with Ibeju Lekki in Lagos State, was originally conceived by the Federal Government, with the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, entrusted to oversee its development.
In a statement jointly signed and issued in Port Harcourt, Rivers state on Sunday, Pastor Jude Teidor, National President of NDYCPP, and George Okitikpi, National Secretary of the group said it was only expedient for the said project to be suspended to avoid waste. The coalition argued that the Federal Ministry of Works, headed by Engineer David Umahi, was pursuing negotiations for new construction contracts on the East-West Coastal Road without involving the NDDC.
