The Committee of Youth on Mobilization and Sensitization (CYMS) has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently intervene in the lingering dispute involving Winhomes Global Services Limited and diaspora investors affected by the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road project.

In a communiqué issued on Thursday, April 16, 2026, the group expressed concern that the unresolved matter, which has persisted for over 24 months, poses a threat to Nigeria’s reputation as an investment-friendly destination.

In the communiqué signed by its Director General, Chief Obinna Nwaka, and Chairman of Renewed Hope Concern Citizens (RHCC), Hon. Tayo Tola Agbaje, the group said despite several engagements with relevant authorities, no resolution or compensation has been provided to the affected investors, raising concerns about bureaucratic inefficiency and possible systemic lapses within governance structures.

The group also raised questions over comments attributed to the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, who reportedly stated that he personally ordered the demolition of the Winhomes Estate, noting that the directive did not originate from the President.

According to CYMS, such a claim, if accurate, raises constitutional concerns regarding due process and the exercise of authority in matters involving private and foreign investments.

“It necessitates immediate clarification from the highest levels of government to ensure that due process has been followed and that all actions align with established legal standards,” the communiqué stated.

The group warned that the implications of the dispute extend beyond the immediate parties, stressing that investor confidence depends on transparency, legal protection and timely dispute resolution.

 CYMS noted that the case has already attracted both national and international attention, cautioning that continued inaction could reinforce negative perceptions about governance and accountability in Nigeria.

The organisation, therefore, urged the President to clarify the circumstances surrounding the demolition, ensure that due process was followed and facilitate fair and prompt compensation for affected parties.

It also called on the Federal Ministry of Works to provide a detailed account of the legal basis and processes leading to the demolition, while urging anti-corruption and oversight agencies to launch an independent investigation into the matter.
The group further appealed to the Association of Nigerian Diaspora Investors to suspend its planned protest and world press conference scheduled for April 20, 2026, in Washington, D.C., United States.

CYMS emphasised that Nigeria must uphold the rule of law and protect legitimate investments to sustain economic growth and maintain its standing in the global investment community.

The group further reiterated its commitment to continued advocacy until justice is achieved and accountability ensured.
“Delayed justice undermines public confidence in governance and diminishes Nigeria’s global standing,” the group stated.
