I appeal to President Tinubu to intervene directly to restore the original coastal road alignment, and ensure that the Senate Committee on Works investigates corruption allegations surrounding this diversion.

Okengwu explained that affected investors followed legal protocols, and possess all necessary documentation, including certificates of occupancy and coastal road clearance .

She averred that diaspora investments were critical to national development, hence be guarded.

“Protecting these investments is not just about saving properties but about ensuring that Nigeria remains an attractive destination for investors,” she said.
