Infrastructure vs Property Rights

The construction of the 700km Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway has sparked significant controversy due to the demolition of premium beach clubs, resorts, and private estates in Lekki. Affected landowners demand transparent compensation, while the government prioritizes structural progress to unlock regional tourism and commerce.
