”It’s in a right-of-way within the coastal corridor which is legitimate right of way of the Federal Government.“Before the flag-off of the demolition of landmark, I graciously increased the grace period by another seven days and yet another four days and here we are because the project stopped because of lack of demolition.“And I want to commend the likes of Bolaji, incidentally from kilometre zero to four from what I’m seeing, he is the only one that is majorly affected. That’s the only infrastructure I can see that is affected.”The Minister, who acknowledged that some people were opposed to the project, insisted that it was necessary for economic development.He assured those affected by the demolition that they would be adequately compensated, adding that documentation would start between May 2 and May 3.
