Umahi Urges Probe into Alleged Demolition of $250M Diaspora Investment

Minister of Works, David Umahi, has called for an investigation into Winhomes' claims regarding the Lagos-Calabar Highway project. Umahi urged the media and civil society groups to scrutinize reports of a land scam and the alleged demolition of a $250 million diaspora investment by the federal government along the coastal highway corridor.

Umahi emphasized the importance of national development over individual land ownership, especially in infrastructure projects like the Coastal Highway. The presidency supports the alignment of the highway project, despite opposition from developers and property owners along the proposed route.
