Lagos-Calabar Coastal High Way: We’ve issued preliminary impact assessment certification for site clearance, compensation – FG



The Federal government says it has issued a preliminary impact assessment certification for site clearance and scoping for compensation along the Lagos-Calabar Coastal High Way.

The minister of State for Environment, Iziaq Salako disclosed this on Friday at the World Press Freedom Day organised by the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Environment and UNESCO at Radio House with the theme: A Press for the Planet: Journalism in the Face of Environmental Crisis.

He said, ‘‘Federal Ministry of Works applied for the since December last year for environmental impact and social assessment of the project and that the Ministry of Environment has done its preliminary assessment.

‘‘First, let me say that environmental impact and social assessment is mandated by law for some categories of projects, public and private. The Federal Ministry of Environment implements that law, and I can tell you that we take it very, very seriously. We don’t joke with it. As a matter of fact, I can tell you that in recent months, we have observed a few loopholes in the existing law.

‘‘And we are already approaching the Federal Executive Council to see how to block those loopholes. The Federal Ministry of Works applied since December last year for environmental impact and social assessment of that project that you spoke about. And the Ministry of Environment has done its preliminary assessment, and I can confirm we have issued a preliminary impact assessment certification for site clearance and scoping for compensation.

‘‘We have done that, and that is what is going on now. But you know that it is a very big project, a long road, so it’s not something we can do in one field swoop. So we have decided to therefore approach the issuance of the certification in phases like that, so that the project can go on, and we can also be doing our own bit of it.’’

Environmental Impact Assessment For The Lagos-Calabar Road: The Fact

On April 18, 2024, @FMWNIG announced that compensation for those affected by the construction would be based on WORK DONE by the ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT team.*

Note: The EIA team already did the work.

David Fatunmbi @davidfatunmbi

The Federal Ministry of Works' named the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) consultant and reps.

1. Dr. E. Itua, ESIA Consultant.
2. Suv. P. Lateef: ESIA Rep.
3. Mr. E. Eneh: ESIA Rep.

This info was released two weeks ago, AFTER THE ESIA TEAM DID THE ASSESSMENT.

David Fatunmbi @davidfatunmbi

@NigeriaGov commissioned an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the Lagos-Calabar Rd long ago.

The tables below are a summary of the ESIA.

See:"Transportation Infrastructure for Regional and National Development: Case of the Proposed East-West Coastal Road"*

He said, ‘‘Federal Ministry of Works applied for the since December last year for environmental impact and social assessment of the project and that the Ministry of Environment has done its preliminary assessment.

Good

Obidients have created another buzz word on their whassap groups. It's EIA. They are screaming EIA all over twitter.

Little do they know that it's still Ministry of Environment that will get the EIA done.

hellunfats:
That's how APC olympiotic meristemasis governor in cross river was building superhighway to north all these white elephants in the name of project but for stealing public patrimony.

God will judge you Umahi, with that color color airport you build in Abakaliki that has never received 1 commercial flight till date.

That's how you people said Buhahri and Fashola were stealing money in the name of 2nd Niger bridge. We know your game.

Peter Obi and his Obidient supporters squad are giving us nightmares, if you allow them, they will ignite a youth revolution in Nigeria, reason National Security Adviser Ribadu have resurrected the cybersecurity bill to start an urgent clampdown on Obi and his radical Obidient followers




Meanwhile we go back to duty, Bola Tinubu must pay or appoint one of us as SSA on Internet support. Reno Omockery is our leader.




So what do we have to say to this thread?


Pandora Hoebi the Obidense President will never rule Nigeria.

Gbajue can only be Twitter President. After BAT completes his 2nd tenure in 2031, power will return back to the North for Shettima to do his own 4+4 before going back to South South for Wike to also do his own 4x4 and it will return back to Southwest.

If it pains you, go back to your Potopoto region.


God bless Nigeria forever.

im really getting tired of reading about this coastal highway on a daily basis

This government is not even serious. Why are you responding to nonentities like Peter Obi and his gang of online bandits?

EIA is now their problem. 99% of them haven’t even seen what EIA look like or heard about it before. But someone just open their brain and put nonsense there and they started shouting EIA.

So where is them asking for EIA for Lagos-Ibadan, second Niger bridge, every other roads constructed and etc.

From Landmark, now it’s EIA, tomorrow it will be PIB, then next tomorrow CNN.

Then why click on a thread about the coastal highway and why read it? Why not just scroll and skip it?

its either they waste it on white elephant project as u have said or they loot it for themselves.. either ways the money ends up somewhere,, so which would u prefer? most times u nigerians dont even know what you really want... someone loots u complain, he worked u still complain

His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is the best thing to happen to Nigeria

Very strategic infrastructure.

The way they are rushing the phase one of this project, I hope the same energy will propel them to get to Calabar.

Is 2nd niger bridge waste of money?? Since there are other existing road to enter the SE.

Lol

The question is, will that road ever get to Calabar?...Patterns don't lie.

incompetence

This is not what we want now. The common man is starving to death.

If we all die, who's going to use the coastal road?

Commence the production and dispensation of petrol at the refineries now.

We can't take it anymore you heartless criminals.

It is standard and I am surprised that someone will attempt to raise an issue on this. Without it, construction can not even start for safety reasons.
May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Can you imagine!

In phases? what if you get to the 3rd or 4th phase and found out that the project will have great and adverse impact to the environment and people of that inhabits that domain, and by then 30% of job would have been done. what happens?

In Nigeria, where unthinkables hapens?

What a deliberate naivety!

Can we raise questions on the "bidding" for the contract?

The eagerness to get this project underway is commendable,if the same eagerness could be Chanel led into the power sector and security then the country will witness a big shift from the norm.

The project has been in the works since 1960. How could it have been possible that there was no EIA before? Arise News decided to make a mountain out of it to continue to promote their anti Tinubu agenda.

It is an important project to the Niger Delta people, the south-south and the south-west. The road has the potential of unlocking economic opportunities for the people of the zones.

So far, the following persons are against the project:

(1) Atiku Abubakar: Atiku after initially challenging the transparency of the project, called it a "highway to fraud". He asked that the cost be disclosed. He didn't ask for the project not to be done.

(2) Peter Obi: Still angling from the electoral defeat he suffered, he asked for the complete termination of the project. He claimed it would lead to job losses and would have no meaningful impact. He claimed millions of dollars of investments would be affected. He couldn't say where the jobs and investments were.

(3) Arise News:They have sustained a media onslaught against the project. First, they talked copiously about the project making Landmark lose investment and people losing jobs. When it became clear that only a marginal portion of Landmark was affected even though Landmark encroached on government assets and that the furore was over access to the beachfront by Landmark, Arise News shifted to ask Federal Government if Federal Government got a waiver on final approval for Environmental Impact Assessment from Federal Government. Now that Umahi clarified that they followed due process, Arise News will soon ask for the FEC memo that approved the project.

(3) Rufai Oseni: The bitter, arrogant, cretinous journalist-wannabe has fought this project from the get go. Rufai Oseni fought the student loan scheme, Lagos light rail project, subsidy removal and supported Emefiele using his naira repainting project to wipe off more than 15 trillion naira from the economy. As soon as Nigeria makes developmental strides, Rufai Oseni gets depressed. Rufai Oseni is anti-Tinubu, anti-Nigeria, anti-progress and anti-objective journalism. He used to always say "Nigeria is a joke", a statement that irritated his former colleague, Tundun Abiola, who.always cautioned him.

(4) The Obidient mob who are anti-development and anti-progress by nature.

(5) The owner of Landmark: He only needed to comply with the eviction notice like others, but decided to launch a negative press against the government that has affected him. He lied and is yet to apologize.

(6) The owner of Arise News: His personal hatred for Tinubu came to the fore during campaign season when he insinuated that Nigeria must avoid a Noriega moment. The saddest day in Arise News was when Tinubu was announced as the winner. Arise News has been used to promote an anti-Tinubu agenda. Unfortunately, his station has been unable to draw the line between promoting anti-Tinubu materials and working against the Nigeria people. The man had a personal interest in the 2023 elections and is the most controversial media owner in Nigeria.

For the future, let those in the south-west and south-south never forget politicians and fake journalists who are threats to regional progress and national cohesion.

So far, the following persons are in support of the project:

(1) Edwin Clark: He wrote a letter to Tinubu to congratulate him for kicking off the project.

(2) James Ibori: Ibori took to Twitter and Facebook to affirm Tinubu's courage towards bringing development to the Niger Delta region.

(3) All Niger Delta governors: In a meeting where Godwin Obaseki (Edo), Duoye Diri (Bayelsa) and representatives of the governors of other Niger Delta states issued a communique read by Obaseki thanking Tinubu for moving forward with the project.

We expect more Niger Delta leaders and southwest leaders to come out in support of the project.

Now that EIA is done, expect them to start asking for FEC memos to satisfy their lust for chaos.

In Nigeria, where unthinkables hapens?

You obviously don't understand how vital it is . It's like saying that you want to shave the hair on your head without removing the hat on your head.

It's ignorance and low self esteem that will make anyone think it's avoidable or it has anything to do with skin color or nationality.

It shall be successful.

INTEGRITYA1:
It shall be successful.

why wouldn't it be a successful heist
when it's awarded to Hi tech

I'm sure you typing from the long queue in the filling station standing with your keg
because of fuel scarcity
what do you expect when the nation's refineries are unfunctional

I hope you succeed in getting fuel for your small generator, so you can at least have power today, i know you don't depend on the epileptic supply
