NIGER DELTA YOUTHS WARN PETER OBI, OTHER CRITICS OF LAGOS-CALABAR SUPERHIGHWAY

The 21st Century Youths of Niger Delta and Agitators with Conscience (21st CYNDAC) have issued a stern warning to critics of the Calabar-Lagos Highway, urging them to cease efforts aimed at dissuading the Federal Government from realizing this significant infrastructure development in the Niger Delta region.

In a statement released by the group’s Coordinator, Izon Ebi, 21st CYNDAC lauded President Bola Tinubu for greenlighting the construction of the highway, which is poised to span the coastlines of the Niger Delta. 

The group emphasized that this project represents a strategic move with both political and economic ramifications, showcasing the foresight of the current administration.

According to the group, the completion of this highway is expected to trigger an economic upswing and foster a revival of tourism in the Niger Delta, ultimately contributing to the overall development of the region.

The statement added that they were baffled that some people were protesting the “noble economic thrust of the President”. 

The statement read: “We are forced to wonder if it’s because the project is not sited in their region or they can no more hide their hate and disdain for the Niger Delta people. 

“We the people of the Niger Delta support the President’s noble stride, and, on this note, send clear warnings to haters of the Niger Delta to steer clear”.
