Coastal Highway: IYC urges Tinubu to retain original route

The Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide appealed to President Bola Tinubu to direct the Minister of Works, David Umahi, to retain the original route of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway approved by the Federal Executive Council instead of diverting it to the existing East-West Road from Ondo State. The council warned that the diversion would undermine the interests of Edo, Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers states, demanded release of approved designs, immediate start of work on all affected axes, and argued that terrain and cost concerns were invalid given the region's economic contributions and existing successful projects in swampy areas.
