That is very wrong.Government should know that the issue of community chasing away contractors that refuse to compensate them not just started today. Its a long tradition in our society. I'm expecting the contractor's to settle the community also government should wake up to their responsibility by providing job to the youth Because if they are living fine they will not ask contractors for money .

Very well then.

mrvitalis:
Lol u expect Igbo man to give u his land for free ?

Which government takes peoples land without compensation ?

That might be their only land ...we don't have luxury of land like west or north

Who ever told buhari and APC that threats moves an Igbo man is lying to him .,...the more u threaten n intimidate the more determine the Igbo man become .

If u can't compensate the land owners leave the bridge

engrfaruq:


Why is it not happening in other parts of the Country? I've never heard about Hausa or Yorubas frustrating projects

javaguru:
see your head. As if your the contractor

Yusuf4:

Well, while it’s good Federal Government situates Projects that will benefit all, imagine that the only land you bought with your money as a future investment had been marked for project by FG, what would you do? During Jonathan regime, Hausa people benefited by giving out their land for federal projects

wirinet:

What does your mean community are land owners? Will the bridge cover the whole community? So you give every elder, youth cat and dog money, because a few dozen hectares would be needed for road passing through the community.

Buhari says it will be unfair to accuse Federal Government of marginalising people in terms of projects allocation when local authorities in some states are frustrating contractors.

President Muhammadu Buhari has issued a serious warning to state governments that create unnecessary impediment in the allocation of land for projects or refuse to cooperate with contractors.

The President gave the warning on Saturday, October 19, 2019 in a statement issued by his media aide, Garba Shehu.

Buhari said some local communities in some states frustrate contractors by making impossible demands for land compensations and even go as far as chasing them from sites. He said, “The idea of chasing away contractors on site or making undue demands from them by local communities or the deliberate actions of state governments to frustrate the allocation of lands for federal projects is an antithesis of the people’s welfare.

“To compound matters, contractors kept away from site often make further demands for payment whenever they return to site.” “By denying the federal government lands for projects and creating unnecessary obstacles for the execution of these projects, it may be unfair to turn around and accuse the same Federal Government of marginalising people in terms of projects allocation. “When it comes to the welfare of the people, governments at all levels should be united by the common goal of improving the well being of the people, regardless of political affiliation. “It is, therefore, impossible to spread Federal Government projects when petty demands or politics is allowed to override the higher interest of the people.”

Recall that in September, Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola alleged that some communities in the south-east demanded N100 billion compensation over the construction of Second Niger Bridge.


Meanwhile, President Buhari had directed ministers to resolve all land issues threatening projects under their supervision. He added that if the issues remain unsolved, the project be relocated to other states.

You just commented like an empty vessel you are. Most of you political jobbers living 500miles from ground zero have no idea that the second Niger bridge will transverse heavily and densely populated part of both States.
Because it is SE they should suck it up. You think you are doing them a favour.

Huh!! So if government is building the fourth mainland bridge, they should just carry dey go irrespective of who owns the lands and the properties along its parts.
Will they destroy and demolish already existing structures without compensations.??
No!!!!!.
Mind you, vehicles coming from 9 states of the deep south passes through this accursed bridge and you must pass this same bridge if you are going to this same states, so do not threatens SE. They have been surviving and will continue to survive.

I barf on people that reason the way you lots do.

Now, that doesn't make any sense to me... Ngige is minister of labour and employment, he has no business with bridge contract.... All States have Ministers.
