The Federal Government announced that the demolition of buildings in the right of way of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road will start this Saturday.
Report gathered from channelnews stated that Korede Keisha, the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, revealed this during a press briefing in Lagos. Keisha advised affected residents to visit the ministry’s secretariat in Lagos for necessary procedures. The demolition team will begin removing marked properties on Saturday.
Keisha said, “So this press briefing is just to create awareness for all those that may be involved or have one or two things to do along that project corridor.
“We’ve sent out demolition notices to as many as are within the right of way and we are using this medium now to say that everyone that has any concern within that corridor and has been served, the secretariat is opened to them from today, 3 pm.
“We are welcoming them from today till tomorrow. Whatever you have to do along that axis, and then we’ve come to you and marked you down for demolition, we are asking that you see us at the secretariat from today till tomorrow evening.
“Thereafter, the demolition squad will move to action by Saturday morning for the first three kilometers.”
The minister added, “For the first three kilometers, anything within the right of way of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway will be dropped down from Saturday morning.
“So, I want to use this medium to reach out to as many as we cannot put calls across to, that this will go a long way to let them know that their issues will be sorted out between today and tomorrow.
“Especially if you are within zero to three kilometers of the projects and you have been marked. You have been identified as standing in the right of way of the project corridors.”
Recently, Minister of Works Dave Umahi disclosed that the construction of the Lagos-Calabar coastal road is expected to span eight years and cost N4 billion per kilometer
