The Federal Government, on Thursday, established a committee tasked with the responsibilities of reviewing, assessing and compensation of landowners affected by the construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Expressway.
Minister of Works, David Umahi, stated during the committee’s inauguration in Abuja that the goal is to ensure transparency in all undertakings concerning compensations of people affected by the project.
In his explanation of the compensation process for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Expressway project, Umahi highlighted the ministry’s commitment to using Federal Government rates, which are higher than those typically used in Lagos.
He acknowledged the common dissatisfaction among compensation recipients but emphasized the legal obligation to adhere to these federal standards, given that the Federal Government is the funding body.
